Nelson Brothers Mourvèdre Cask Straight Bourbon 750mL

Nelson Brothers Mourvèdre Cask finishes straight bourbon in red-wine casks — a cask-strength-leaning 107.5 proof from Nashville's revived Nelson's Green Brier Distillery.

Brothers Charlie and Andy Nelson resurrected their great-great-great-grandfather's once-mighty Tennessee distillery, and the Nelson Brothers line is its bourbon flagship. This expression rests straight bourbon in casks that held Mourvèdre — a dark, brambly red wine — layering vinous fruit over the whiskey at a stout 107.5 proof.

Tasting Notes

Dark berry and plum from the wine cask over caramel, oak, and baking spice; rich, warming, and long at 107.5 proof. Excellent neat or with a few drops of water.
