Lux Row Release Albariño Cask Finish Bourbon
Bardstown, Kentucky-based Lux Row Distillers is introducing Lux Row Small Batch Albariño Cask Finish – a blend of 4-year-old wheated and ryed bourbons finished for an additional six months in casks that held Albariño wine, a dry white wine known for its citrus flavors, acidity and hint of salinity.
Offered at 105 proof (52.5% ABV), Lux Row Small Batch Albariño Cask Finish will be available at Lux Row Distillers beginning in March at a minimum suggested retail price of $59.99 per 750mL bottle.
Native to coastal Spain and Portugal, Albariño grapes create a refreshing white wine. The Albariño finish imparts a bouquet of nectarine, lime, and grapefruit on the nose, with lemon zest, honeydew, and a mouth-watering acidity on the palate. The result is a unique and memorable pour.
“We wanted to combine the fruity citrus flavors of Albariño wine with the corn-influenced sweet notes of our wheated and ryed bourbons,” Lux Row Master Distiller John Rempe said in a news release. “The outcome is a delicious combination of two opposing flavors that results in a truly unique expression.”
Lux Row Small Batch Albariño Cask Finish joins a growing family of award-winning Lux Row products. Offerings include Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish, which recently debuted nationwide; 12-Year Double Barrel; and Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel, which earned a Platinum medal at the Ascot Awards, a Double Gold designation at the SIP Awards and a Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
“Our Lux Row brand portfolio is focused on giving bourbon consumers what they want – high-quality offerings that bring unique flavor options and taste profiles,” Lux Row Brand Manager Eric Winter said. “Our latest Albariño offering is outstanding, and we’re looking forward sharing it with our distillery guests and visitors.”
