Distiller Notes
Dude Reserve Whiskey is finished in world class Napa Valley cult Cabernet-infused French oak barrels. The Master Blender has meticulously selected these grand cru wine barrels to impart a natural seasoning, toasting and complexity, allowing the Rye Whiskey to finish to a desired flavor profile and proof. Lush, balanced and bold, you can sense the terroir and aromas of oak and a hint of cherry.

Tasting Panel
Finished in French oak barrels that once held Napa Valley Cabernet and bottled at 98 proof. Unctuous aromas of stone fruit arise with scents of cedar and coffee bean. The mouthfeel is exquisite, with black-peppered peach and apricot joining burnt orange peel, chocolate, and tobacco.
Capturing a broad range in one category, American Whiskey refers to any spirit made in America by distilling a mash of fermented grains—typically corn, wheat, rye or barley. American Whiskey must be distilled to no more than 95% alcohol and bottled at 40% or higher. In order to be labeled a straight Whiskey, it also must be aged in white oak barrels for a minimum of two years and not contain any added colors or flavors.
