BUENA VISTA, CO — Deerhammer Distilling’s Port Cask Finish American Single Malt is now available in liquor stores across Colorado’s Front Range and at the tasting room in downtown Buena Vista. This whiskey is the first extension of Deerhammer’s flagship American Single Malt, aged for a total of three years both in oak and port wine barrels.
This exclusive Deerhammer expression marries tradition with innovation. The distillery’s American Single Malt has redefined the flavor, and future, of independent American craft whiskey. This whiskey is now routed down the traditional road of fortified wine cask finishing. A selection of Deerhammer’s finest two year matured, American Single Malt Whiskey was selected and transferred to ex-port wine casks for an additional year of maturation time. The results are characterized through nuanced flavors of dark fruit, caramel, and tannins, which enhance the complexity of our mainstay whiskey. Each component has been crafted with the intention of delivering a whiskey to be savored.
Only 2500 bottles of Port Cask Finish American Single Malt Whiskey will be available for purchase.
