DISTILLERY NOTES

"El Padre", or "The Father" in English is a bourbon-style whisky that was first aged for four years in American toasted oak, and then double-wood aged in a Don Julio 42 finished cask.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Another speciality release from Okanagan Spirits; this time it's their bourbon style whisky finished in Don Julio 1942. I'm not usually a massive fan of tequila finished whiskies, have done a lot in the past and they tend to fight for supremacy on the palate. This one however, balances the oaked vanilla tones of the 1942 with the ballsy corn notes of the whisky. Deliciously drinkable, complex and balanced.

Alcohol - 42% / 84 proof

Color - Iridescent Copper Orange

Nose - Bite of the BRBN notes straight off and then that deep tequila note hanging in the background

Taste - Balanced and complimentary, the depth and sweet stonefruit notes of the BRBN play perfect with the herbal, grassy notes of the tequila

Finish - Fruity, deep and complex, it’s balanced between the richness of the BRBN and the deep spice and herbal notes of the 1942

Best Enjoyed - Neat
