At Amador Whiskey Company, we partner with the finest distillers to create small batch, luxury whiskies. Amador double barrel is a classic low rye bourbon aged in new charred american oak barrels for 3 years, which creates flavors of vanilla, black cherry, caramel. It is then finished in former medium toast french oak cabernet barrels for 9-12 months, which provides additional vanilla notes and a smooth mouthfeel. The “double barrel" aging technique creates characteristics from the individual barrels that are then blended together to make an exceptional tasting bourbon, far greater than the sum of its parts.
