Process & Profile

Amador Double Barrel Port Barrel Finish Rye Whiskey is a distinctive expression that unites Kentucky rye craftsmanship with California wine country influence. Distilled in Kentucky from a classic high-rye mash bill, the whiskey first matures in new charred American oak barrels before being finished in former Port wine barrels sourced from premium California wineries. This dual maturation process imparts rich layers of fruit, spice, and sweetness, resulting in a well-balanced rye that bridges bold character and elegant depth.
