Key Differences with Cask Strength:
-
Higher Proof: Cask strength whiskeys are bottled at their natural proof, which can vary from barrel to barrel. This results in a more intense and concentrated flavor profile.
-
Unfiltered: Cask strength whiskeys are typically unfiltered, which can contribute to a richer mouthfeel and a slightly hazy appearance.
-
More Intense Flavors: The higher proof amplifies the existing flavors in the whiskey, resulting in a more robust and complex experience.
Important Notes:
-
Proof Variations: Cask strength whiskeys will have varying proofs depending on the specific barrels used.
-
Add Water (Optional): You can add a few drops of water to your cask strength whiskey to open up the aromas and flavors and reduce the intensity.
-
Enjoy Responsibly: Cask strength whiskeys are higher in alcohol content, so it's important to enjoy them in moderation.
