10th Street California Coast Blended Whisky
10th Street California Coast Blended Whisky
In this bottle is our interpretation of the essence of California, and its diverse people, who each bring something unique to this land. Our tribute to this melting pot starts with two of our California made single malts – the double gold winning STR and the gold medal winning Distiller’s Cut. We combine these with two amazing pot-still distilled light whiskies that we sourced from the old Seagram’s plant in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Light whiskies are distilled to a higher proof, creating a more delicate spirit and a canvas to paint on by blending in fuller flavored single malts. This creates a unique whisky with a refreshing taste, perfect for an aperitif before dinner (Highball anyone?) or even an accompaniment to a meal.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Pleasant and immediately approachable, greeted with the familiar flavors from American oak cask, stewed stone fruits, vanilla custard, coconut cream, but also uniquely 10th Street, modeling clay, sea air, salinity, cocoa puffs, red pu-ehr tea, the first rain on dry concrete.
Color: Lightly oaked Chardonnay
Palate: Easy to drink, panacotta, light campfire embers, dandelions, and heathered honey.
Finish: Leaves you wanting more with glazed donuts, lime altoid sours, and lingering silky mouthfeel.
NOTES OF
SCENT & FLAVOR
COLOR
Deep colour, almost opaque.
NOSE
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.
PALATE
On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity, firm and well present tannins, wild bush and red berry notes, with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
