Last month, Iowa’s Cedar Ridge Distillery, under the direction of Master Blender Murphy Quint, released the fourth in its The QuintEssential American Single Malt series: Wine Club, First Meeting.

“Rooted in our winery heritage, this release is a tribute to that legacy. While past expressions have included a foundation of either New American Oak or French Oak, this release exclusively features wine-finishing casks: Amontillado Sherry, Tokaji, Moscatel, and Pinot Noir. Each cask is complex in its own right, and I enjoyed the challenge of blending those complex flavors” stated Quint.

The QuintEssential Wine Club, First Meeting follows the Untitled Cigar Malt Project, The QuintEssential Pete & Sherri, and The QuintEssential Portside.

The QuintEssential Special Release: Wine Club, First Meeting is bottled at 118.1% abv and has an SRP of $99.99
