Dark Arts Whiskey House Sherry Garcia Volume 3

Oloroso Sherry Cask-Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 114.06 Proof | 57.03% ABV | 750mL | Limited Release

Discover the bold complexity of Dark Arts Whiskey House Sherry Garcia Volume 3, an exceptional straight bourbon whiskey finished in Oloroso sherry wine casks. Combining mature American bourbon with the rich influence of Spanish sherry casks, this distinctive release delivers layers of dried fruit, dark cherry, toasted nuts, and warming baking spice. Bottled at cask strength, it offers a full-bodied, concentrated tasting experience designed for bourbon enthusiasts who appreciate innovative barrel finishing and sophisticated flavor.

Aged for approximately 8.5 years, the bourbon is distilled in Indiana and finished in Oloroso sherry casks before being blended and bottled in Lexington, Kentucky. The high-rye mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley provides a foundation of sweetness and spice, while the sherry cask finishing introduces additional depth, dried-fruit character, and nutty complexity. At 114.06 proof, Volume 3 preserves the intensity of the whiskey while allowing its layered flavors to develop throughout the tasting experience.

The aroma opens with dried cranberries and bright citrus zest, complemented by subtle honey and seasoned oak. On the palate, rich cherry and dark fruit mingle with walnut, caramel, and baking spices, creating a dense, warming profile. The finish is long and evolving, with dark chocolate, cinnamon, charred oak, and a lingering touch of tobacco. For collectors and discerning whiskey drinkers, Sherry Garcia Volume 3 offers a compelling combination of mature bourbon character and carefully developed sherry influence.
