Applied to Nelson Brothers' high-rye Tennessee bourbon base, it adds black cherry, fig, and dried fruit complexity that transforms the otherwise bold and spicy straight bourbon into a more nuanced and refined expression. Part of the limited Cask Finish Series exploring creative aging techniques from the Nelson's Green Brier team.

Applied to a high-proof bourbon base, the Oloroso finish adds black cherry, fig, almond, and dried fruit complexity that the American oak aging alone cannot produce. The combination of bourbon's caramel and rye spice with Oloroso's fruit and nut character is one of the more successful bourbon-sherry marriages in the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does the Sherry Cask differ from the standard Nelson Brothers Reserve?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Reserve is the unfinished high-proof expression — pure high-rye bourbon character from American oak aging.
