Cedar Ridge The QuintEssential Special Release Number Five Cask Strength

This is exceptionally dark in color, a virtue of its five finishing casks, which include imported and estate port and madeira, and red wine barrels. On the nose, orange peel, raisin, and cassis take center stage, accented by cereal milk. The palate is juicy and bursting with flavor, awash with toasted pecans, toffee, powdered sugar, and a dash of peppery spice. Chocolate—pudding and ice cream—more raisin, candied nuts, and grape jelly ensure this ends on a high note.
