Castle & Key Experimental Series Rye Whiskey Finished in Vino De Naranja Barrels is an intriguing and unique expression that pushes the boundaries of traditional whiskey aging techniques. This rye whiskey begins with the robust, spicy character of a well-crafted rye base, offering a signature warmth and complexity typical of this grain.

The experimental element lies in its finishing process: the whiskey is aged in Vino De Naranja barrels, a rare Spanish fortified wine barrel. Vino De Naranja is made from sun-dried white grapes, which impart a unique fruity, floral, and slightly nutty character. The finishing in these barrels imparts distinct flavors into the whiskey—bright citrusy notes, hints of dried fruits like apricot and orange peel, and a delicate sweetness that balances the rye's spiciness.

This finishing technique gives the whiskey a layered, multifaceted profile that bridges the gap between whiskey and wine, offering a truly unique and adventurous tasting experience. The fusion of the rye’s spice with the complexity and citrusy sweetness from the Vino De Naranja barrels creates a one-of-a-kind profile for connoisseurs who appreciate experimental and bold flavor combinations.

Tasting Notes

Castle & Key Experimental Series Rye Whiskey Finished in Vino De Naranja Barrels - Tasting Notes:

Nose:
The aroma is a captivating blend of rich rye spice and vibrant citrus. Bright orange zest mingles with hints of dried apricot, honey, and a delicate floral note that evokes spring blossoms. Underlying layers of toasted oak, vanilla, and subtle baking spices give depth and complexity.

Palate:
On the palate, the whiskey opens with a smooth, warming wave of rye’s signature spiciness—pepper and clove—balanced by a surprising sweetness. The Vino De Naranja finishing adds layers of candied orange peel, dried fruits, and a soft nuttiness. There’s a creamy texture, with a slight bitterness from the wine barrels that enhances the complex fruitiness and creates a harmonious balance with the spiciness of the rye.

Finish:
The finish is long and lingering, with the sweetness of honey and dried citrus fruits gradually fading into a pleasant spice warmth. The oakiness from the barrel finish sticks around, adding depth, while a subtle herbal note hints at the unique aging process.

This whiskey is a delightful interplay of spice, fruit, and complexity, perfect for those who enjoy bold, experimental flavors with a sophisticated twist.
