Rogue Dead Guy Cabernet Cask
Rogue Ales was founded in 1988 by Jack Joyce, Bob Woodell and Rob Strasser, all of whom were executives at the shoe company Nike. The brewery began disitlling spirits in 2003 and began offering vodkas, rums and gins, along with the launch of Dead Guy Whiskey in 2006, made from the same malts as those made to use their famous Dead Guy Ale. The Rogue Dead Guy Cabernet Cask is an American single malt aged for at least 3 years and finished in first-fill ex-Cabernet Sauvginon casks sourced from wineries throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Ledaig Rioja Cask
Tobermory was founded in 1798 on the Isle of Mull. The distillery’s main output falls under the Tobermory brand and is used in some blends like Black Bottle, but they also produce a smaller mount of peated single malt sold under the name Ledaig, the original name of the distillery. The Ledaig Rioja Cask is the first in the Sinclair Series, launched in 2020. Regardless, this peated single malt is aged in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in ex-Rioja casks.
Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask
Teeling Distillery was founded in 2015 and was the first new distillery to open in Dublin in 125 years. It was founded by Stephen and Jack Teeling, sons of the legendary John Teeling, all ancestors of the Walter Teeling who operated a distillery in Dublin in the late 18th Century. This Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask is one such pick, a single malt entirely matured in the ex-wine casks rather than the more traditional finish, and bottled at cask strength.
