The distillers work tirelessly to ensure that every batch of Amador bourbon is of the highest quality, utilizing their years of knowledge and experience in the art of distillation.

What sets Amador Whiskey Co. apart is their use of a double barrel aging process for their wheated bourbon. This unique method involves aging the bourbon in two separate , allowing it to develop complex flavors and characteristics. The distillers carefully select the barrels to enhance the rich and smooth profile of the bourbon, resulting in a truly exceptional drinking experience.

During my visit, I had the opportunity to speak with one of the distillers who explained the meticulous process behind the making of Amador bourbon. The distillers start by selecting the finest grains, including a high proportion of wheat, which gives the bourbon its smooth and mellow flavor profile. These grains are then carefully milled and mixed with to create the mash, which is then fermented using special strains that have been cultivated for their ability to bring out the best flavors in the bourbon.

After fermentation, the distillers carefully distill the bourbon using their state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring that only the purest and most flavorful are collected. The distillation process is closely monitored to capture the desired flavors and aromas, while removing any impurities that may affect the final product.

Once the bourbon has been distilled, it is then aged in charred oak barrels, which impart rich flavors and aromas to the spirit. After an initial period of aging, the bourbon is then transferred to a second set of barrels for further maturation. This double barrel aging process allows the bourbon to develop a unique complexity and depth of flavor that sets it apart from other wheated bourbons on the market.

As the bourbon ages, the distillers carefully monitor its progress, regularly sampling the spirit to determine when it has reached its optimal flavor profile. Once the bourbon has reached its peak, it is carefully bottled and labeled, ready to be enjoyed by whiskey enthusiasts around the world.
