The Amador Whiskey Company was created by Trinchero Family Estates, a name that is much more well-known in wine circles. The cool part about this for whiskey lovers is though this is a sourced Rye, the source is an excellent distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky that unfortunately has yet to offer any of its own whiskey in Canada. That source is Willet Distillery.
Amador's Kentucky Rye Whiskey Finished in Port Barrels consists of a mashbill of 74% Rye, 11% Corn, and 15% Barley made at WIllet. It was aged in your typical virgin, charred American oak barrels for 3 years and then finished in Amador County Terra d’Oro Port barrels for 9-12 months. It is bottled at 46%.

Producer Tasting Note
"Amador Double Barrel is a rye whiskey aged in new charred American oak barrels for 3 years, which creates flavors of baking spices, blackberry, and chocolate. It is then finished in former French/American barrels for 9–12 months, which provides additional vanilla notes and a velvety mouthfeel. The “Double Barrel” aging technique creates characteristics from the individual barrels that are then blended together to make an exceptional tasting Whiskey, far greater than the sum of its parts."
