Wake Robin Cabernet Cask Finished Rye Whiskey

At its most sublime, cask finishing can finesse the aromas and flavors of a whiskey with deep layers of complexity and intricate nuances. Trillium’s first cask finished whiskey, utilizing a unique blend of three rye whiskeys. 67% of the blend matured for 11+ years, 33% aged a minimum of 6 years.  Aged in Cabernet Sauvignon casks from the fabled Grgich Hills Estate of Napa, California. (pronounced Grrr-gesh). In 1976 Mike Grgich stunned the wine world by winning a blind tasting that pitted up-start California wineries vs. French icons. When their scores were tallied, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, crafted by Mike Grgich, as the finest white wine in the world. The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.
