Why Gifted Pour recommends it
Oloroso sherry casks give this blend of straight whiskeys a depth that reads as a thoughtful gift the moment it's poured. High West, the Utah distillery known for its blending, finishes select straight whiskeys in Oloroso casks. The result is deep amber in the glass, with aromas of dried fig, toasted almond and rich caramel, followed by a lush palate of ripe dark fruit, toffee, nutty sherry, clove and vanilla. The finish is long and velvety, with sherry sweetness and soft, dry oak. As a limited-edition release, it suits the whiskey lover who already owns the staples and would appreciate something with a story, and it is just as welcoming for a curious newcomer. Give it for a promotion, a milestone birthday or a holiday evening by the fire. The recipient can sip it neat in a Glencairn, open it up with a few drops of water, or stir it into a Manhattan or Boulevardier for a richer, sherried twist.
Pairs well with
- Aged cheese board — The whiskey's nutty sherry and toffee notes play well against the savory depth of aged cheeses.
- Dark chocolate — Dark chocolate echoes the cocoa hints on the nose and frames the ripe dark fruit on the palate.
- Celebrating a promotion — A limited-edition bottle with a long, velvety finish of sherry sweetness and warm spice makes a fitting toast to a well-earned step up.
