Templeton Distillery recently released its the 2022 Stout Cask Finish expression from their Barrel Finish Series. This Imperial Stout Cask Finish is the fourth expression in the series.
First introduced in 2019, the Barrel Finish Series focuses on utilizing unusual wood treatments and sourcing unconventional flavors to elevate each expression. This year’s release concentrates on providing a flavor profile of coffee and chocolate. Originally matured for six years in American oak flame-charred barrels, the Stout Cask Finish is finished in bourbon barrel-aged chocolate coffee stout casks for three years.
“This year, our Stout Cask Finish expression provides a fresh perspective and has proven disruptive within our Barrel Finish Series, mixing subtle coffee tones with rye pepper and spice,” said Blair Woodall, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Templeton Distillery. “This new-to-market release is sure to elevate any classic cocktail.”
Previous expressions from the Templeton Rye Barrel Cask Finish Series include the Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish (2021), the Caribbean Rum Cask Finish (2020), and the Maple Cask Finish Series (2019). Each edition offers a twist on what rye can be and continues to position Templeton as a pioneer of innovation in the industry.
Templeton’s 2022 Stout Cask Finish is 92 proof and is available in limited quantities for $54.99.
