Meet Hogsworth The 15, our newest Barrel Club selection, plus tastings, new wines & Memorial Day weekend picks
Hey everyone,
The response to our new Barrel Club has been awesome so far, and this week we’re excited because one of our newest exclusive selections has officially arrived:
🥃 NEW BARREL CLUB ARRIVAL
Hogsworth The 15
Calvados Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey & Armagnac Blend
This one is truly unique.
Crafted from select Tennessee and Minnesota bourbons with traditional mash bills, the blend consists of 53% bourbon and 47% Armagnac, then finished in Calvados barrels for a beautiful layer of crisp orchard fruit character.
The average age across the blend is an impressive 15 years.
Tasting Notes
Golden straw / amber-orange color
Caramel, butterscotch & toffee apple aromas
Subtle pear and crème brûlée notes
Bold palate with black pepper, ginger, ripe fruit & cocoa
Long lingering finish with warming spice and baked apple character
This is exactly the kind of bottle we created the Barrel Club for—something distinctive, hard to find, and genuinely exciting.
Pricing
Regular Price: $78
Standard Barrel Club Member Price: $70
