Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What is Oloroso Sherry?
A: Oloroso is a type of fortified wine from Andalusia, Spain. It is an oxidatively aged sherry that is typically full-bodied, strong, and dry, imparting rich, nutty, and dried fruit notes to the barrels it is aged in.
Q: How does a sherry cask finish affect a bourbon?
A: Finishing bourbon in a sherry cask adds layers of complexity. Oloroso sherry casks, in particular, contribute nutty, dried fruit (like figs and raisins), and rich, savory oak notes that complement the natural caramel and vanilla flavors of the bourbon.
Q: Why is a 13-year-old bourbon so special?
A: It is very challenging to age a bourbon for 13 years in Kentucky's climate without it becoming overly woody. A barrel that reaches this age while maintaining a beautiful balance of flavors is rare and represents the best of the best from a distillery's warehouse.
Q: Where can I purchase this Doc Holliday release?
A: This is a limited-edition, single barrel release. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their inventory and availability.
