Cedar Ridge The Quintessential American Single Malt Whiskey 750mL Cedar Ridge

INFO

The richness of our American Single Malt Whiskey is strengthened by our immediate access to fresh, once-used barrels from a variety of sources, including our own wine and Port casks. The complexity of The QuintEssential develops as we add each unique finishing cask in the proper proportion. There is an element of interest or surprise being incorporated into the overall blend with each addition from our arsenal of complex casks. Cheers!

92 Proof (ABV 46%)

THE DISTILLERY

 The Quint family has farmed and distilled spirits for generations. In 2005, Jeff Quint founded Cedar Ridge because he believed it was time for Iowa–the number one corn-producing state in the U.S.–to share its homegrown Bourbon Whiskey with the world. Cedar Ridge was the first licensed distillery in Iowa since Prohibition.

After releasing its first batch of whiskey in 2010, Cedar Ridge Distillery quickly became a nationally recognized leader in craft spirits, winning multiple awards such as American Distilling Institute’s “2017 Distiller of the Year” or “Best American Craft Whiskey” at the 2016 New York World Spirits Competition.

TASTING NOTES

Cooked cereal and herbaceous notes on the nose, along with caramel and vanilla. Sweet, smooth, and creamy, although slightly drying on the palate with pronounced dried/baked fruit notes. Long finish featuring caramel and vanilla notes and a persistent pepperiness.
