Found North Season 4 Single Barrel Cask Strength Whiskey

This cask strength, single barrel of Canadian whisky available only in
New York started as part of a larger blend made up of five distinct
components:

• 22% 21 year old corn whisky
• 10% 20 year old corn whisky
• 39% 15 year old corn whisky
• 7% 8 year old wheat whisky (new oak)
• 22% 8 year old wheat whisky (ex-bourbon)
  Resulting in an overall grain ratio of 71% corn
  to 29% wheat.

For the cask finish, Found North partnered with the team at Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky to create a novel American Oak influence. While most cooperages char their casks with infrared heat, Kelvin utilizes wood for fuel. Found North selected four distinct types of wood for this experiment: American Oak, French Oak, Spanish Oak, and Amburana.

This particular single cask was a 53 gallon American Oak barrel toasted with chunks of French Oak to a heavy toast and char #1 profile. It was finished in this cask for 4 months before being bottled at a cask strength of 58.3% abv.
