Once the bourbon is distilled, it is aged in new charred American oak barrels for a minimum of 3 years. This aging process allows the whiskey to develop its unique flavors and aromas. After the initial aging, the bourbon is transferred to Napa Cellars Chardonnay barrels for an additional 9-12 months. This finishing step adds a subtle touch of Chardonnay influence, imparting a smooth and complex finish to the bourbon.
