Hooten Young Petite Sirah Cask Finish (6 Year)

American Whiskey | 46% ABV (92 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

This limited-edition expression begins as Hooten Young’s 6-year-old American whiskey (distilled by MGP), which is then finished in Petite Sirah wine barrels from Suisun Valley. The result is a harmonious blend of creamy maple backbone infused with deep, lush notes drawn from the wine casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Maple cream sweetness topped with ripe blueberry and soft vanilla
Palate: Velvety mouthfeel carries layered maple and cream, rolling into rich blueberry and smooth vanilla
Finish: Lingering and gentle, with sweet fruit echoes and soft oak warmth
