Process & Profile
Nelson Brothers Black Brier Whiskey is a bold expression in the distillery’s Cask Finish Series, highlighting creative barrel finishing. This release begins with Nelson Brothers bourbon, which is then finished in casks previously used to age Imperial Stout beer. The stout-seasoned oak infuses the whiskey with rich, roasted character and a dessert-like depth, while preserving the warmth and complexity of the underlying bourbon. Bottled at 106 proof, it offers intensity without losing balance.
