BC Spirits "Spirits a Day" #219 - Sons of Vancouver Barrel Aged Amaretto

DISTILLERY NOTES

A very special 2020 release. This individually numbered bottle of our classic Amaretto has spent 12 months aging in a line of used and unique barrels. This year’s selection includes 2Bar Bourbon barrels, Westland Single Malt Casks, and introducing a rare Hogshead Oloroso Sherry Barrel.

Added depth abound, with subtle Single Malt notes and a beautiful Sherry finish. The added whiskey balances the sweetness of the Amaretto making it perfect on ice. Enjoyed best in front of a fire.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Another amazing barrel aged amaretto from Sons of Vancouver. Just when you thought you didn’t need barrel aged amaretto, the lads hit it out of the park with this awesome expression. Aged for a year in ex 2 Bar Spirits bourbon and Westland Whisky Sherry casks, this match just amps up and marries so well with the vanilla, honey and apricot notes in the amaretto. Looking forward to creating a few cocktails with this.

Alcohol - 26% / 52 proof

Color - Deep brown copper edges

Nose - Hints of marzipan, apricots, the honey and then leaning into big sherry with vanilla oak

Taste - Starts as the classic amaretto from SOV with apricot, honey and vanilla then that sherry and bourbon just come through and give you another layer of flavor, layer upon layer

Finish - Long sherry balanced out with the classic SOV amaretto

Best Enjoyed - Elevated Amaretto Sour
