*UPCOMING RELEASE* French Oak Old & Rare Second-Fill TD0109

Old & Rare
French Oak Second-Fill
TD0109

Tomorrow we release our first Old & Rare from a second-fill French oak barrel, TD0109. It’s the kind of whisky that fills an entire room with its aroma.

As our first Old & Rare release from a second-fill French oak barrel, TD0109 serves as an introduction to a new spectrum of flavour, one which is ruled by nuance and integration.

French oak refills are particularly eye-opening when in the old & rare realm because French oak is a wood varietal that’s all about tannin, structure and spice. Basically, they have an incredible amount of complexity. To experience all of that complexity, stripped back and deeply integrated over 16+ years is astounding, and we are honoured to be champions of this new realm of flavour.

French Oak Old & Rare Second-Fill: TD0109

Fresh cantaloupe, orange blossom, candied grapes and peaches & cream ooze out of the glass and fill the room. The base is bright and mineralic, reminiscent of a river rock smoothed by time. Surprisingly, the character of the ex-Tawny is still there, hiding in the background within the oak, presenting sweet raisins and a musky allure.

TD0109 is a feat of integration, and an absolute structural delight. Not a single sharp edge or wonky note to be found. Complete harmony.

16 years old, matured in a second-fill French oak ex-Tawny barrel, TD0109 yielded just 421 bottles.

Wright & Brown Spirits

Anyone curious about craft Bourbon is sure to enjoy this tasting! Distilled in American-made copper whisky stills, each Wright and Brown release is truly handcrafted. First, the distillers seek out the most flavorful non-GMO grains, working with local organic farms to get the best ingredients. Every step of the whisky process is then done in-house, from milling the grain to mashing, fermenting, distilling, aging, and finally bottling. The result is a decadently flavorful small-batch whiskey, made right here in the Bay Area.
