Introducing Ghostwood’s Blended Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Chardonnay Casks

Ghostwood Distilling Co. is thrilled to unveil its latest creation: Blended Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Chardonnay Casks. Receiving a Silver Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this innovative whiskey promises a one-of-a-kind tasting experience.

Award-Winning Craftsmanship

The Chardonnay casks used in the finishing process bring a delightful blend of citrus and oak, perfectly balancing the rich flavors of Ghostwood’s Premium 4-Grain Blended Bourbon Whiskey.

The Inspiration Behind the Whiskey

Founder and Owner Lucas Perks drew inspiration from his favorite Scotches when crafting this unique cask-finished whiskey. He chose Chardonnay casks specifically for their fruity dryness, which complements the sweet toffee undertones of Ghostwood’s bourbon.

Flavor Profile

This finely crafted whiskey features:

  • Gold amber color
  • Fruity aroma with hints of oak and spice
  • Oak and tannin flavors with notes of almond, warm spices, and a buttery finish

The result is a smooth, warm-spiced aftertaste that leaves a lasting impression.
