Amador Double Barrel Rye Whiskey Finished in Port Barrels 750mL is a sophisticated, dual-aged rye that marries bold Kentucky craftsmanship with California elegance. Distilled in Kentucky and finished in Port wine barrels from Napa Valley, this small-batch whiskey from Amador Whiskey Co. delivers a complex balance of spice, sweetness, and red fruit character.

Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), Amador Double Barrel Rye undergoes a meticulous two-stage aging process — first matured in new charred American oak barrels to develop its classic rye backbone, then finished in Port casks for smoothness and depth. The result is a refined whiskey bursting with layers of caramel, honey, oak, and dark berries, offering a long, warm, and subtly sweet finish. Perfect for sipping neat, on ice, or in a premium Manhattan, it’s a rye whiskey that bridges tradition and innovation.
