Dad’s Hat Port Barrel Rye Whiskey 750ml – Pennsylvania Crafted Spirit

Mountain Laurel Spirits’ Port Wine Finish Rye Whiskey delivers an extraordinary fusion of bold rye character and lush port wine depth—crafted exclusively for California’s discerning whiskey lovers. This small-batch spirit stands out through its innovative double-finishing technique: after maturation in traditional oak barrels, it spends three additional months in ex-port wine casks that once held rich red grape blends known for their sweet fruitiness. The result is a uniquely layered whiskey where spicy rye meets velvety port flavors in perfect harmony.

On first pour, your nose will detect a captivating blend of dark florals, ripe berries, and warm baking spices—a sensory prelude to its complex taste journey. The palate starts with a crisp peppery bite before yielding to luscious port-inspired fruit notes like black cherry and plum, subtly underscored by cinnamon and clove warmth. The finish lingers smoothly on the tongue, balancing robust spice with lingering dark fruit sweetness—a testament to its meticulous craftsmanship.

At 47% ABV, this California-distilled rye offers bold intensity without overpowering elegance. Ideal for sipping straight to savor its intricate layers or elevating craft cocktails like a smoky Manhattan or spiced old fashioned. Its innovative finishing process sets it apart from standard ryes, making it a standout choice for adventurous palates seeking sophistication beyond tradition.
