Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. is proving that barrel proof doesn’t always mean high proof with the release of Cascade Moon 15 Year Old Barrel Proof.
The new offering is a unique spirit that originally entered the barrel at 115 proof, where it was aged for 15 years in Cascade Hollow’s single story rickhouses. As a result of the curious conditions experienced by these barrels, the proof of the offering dropped to 79.8, below the minimum standard to be classified as a whisky.
Since the line’s inception in 2020, the mission of the Cascade Moon Series has been to further conversations around the American whisky category while bringing consumers a variety of beautiful and small-batch liquids. As a surprise twist on barrel proof, this Cascade Moon release offers drinkers a unique tasting experience by bringing a barrel proof spirit distilled by grain.
“With each Cascade Moon release, I’ve had the chance to share a variety of different offerings based on my inspirations at the time,” said Cascade Hollow Distilling Co.’s General Manager and Distiller Nicole Austin. “One thing that drew me toward releasing something like Cascade Moon 15 Year Old Barrel Proof is how it perfectly demonstrates the balance of approachability and quality possible with a lower proof spirit. I hope this release helps change the way the category perceives lower proof spirits, while also providing whisky fans with access to an elegant spirit.”
The release of Cascade Moon 15 Year Old Barrel Proof is available in select markets for purchase for a limited time for $124.99.
