Product Details:

• Varietal: Blended Bourbon Whiskey
• ABV: 45%

Sensory Description:

This whiskey opens with the warm, inviting sweetness of high rye bourbon finished in local maple syrup barrels, bringing a comforting, homegrown character. Tropical notes from Caribbean rum casks follow, offering sun-kissed vibrancy, while Spanish sherry casks lend nutty richness and a delicate dried fruit depth. French cognac casks complete the journey, wrapping the palate in velvety elegance and subtle spice. The result is a layered, full-bodied profile with an interplay of sweetness, heat, fruit, and oak that evolves beautifully from first sip to finish.

Distiller's Background:

Iron Fish Distillery, Michigan’s first farm-based distillery since Prohibition, has built a reputation for blending global inspiration with local pride. Guided by a farm-to-bottle ethos, the team sources, distills, and finishes with precision and purpose. The Four Cask project reflects their innovative spirit, sourcing barrels from diverse corners of the world while grounding the whiskey’s identity in their high-rye bourbon. Every batch reflects a meticulous balance between creativity and respect for tradition.

Serving Suggestions:

The Four Cask Blended Bourbon Whiskey is versatile enough for slow sipping neat or on the rocks, allowing its intricate layers to unfold at leisure. For pairing, it shines alongside robust, savory dishes such as chargrilled steak, duck confit, or aged cheeses. It also serves as an exceptional base for elevated cocktails—think a rich Old Fashioned with a hint of maple or a Manhattan enhanced by its sherry and cognac notes. Serve at 16–18°C (60–65°F) to fully appreciate its nuanced aromatics and texture.

Iron Fish Distillery’s Four Cask Blended Bourbon Whiskey is more than a bottle, it’s an exploration of flavor that unites continents, cultures, and craftsmanship into one glass, offering a sensory journey as expansive as its inspiration.
