This whiskey is one of three releases in Traverse City Whiskey Co.'s "Finishing Series." Each of the three feature a TCWC different whiskey with a unique barrel finish up to 12 months. This Sherry Barrel Finish begins with a high-rye bourbon with a mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley aged 5 years. It is then finished for almost 12 months in PX sherry wine barrels. It's bottled at 95 proof. Each of the three whiskeys are available at TCWC's tasting rooms and online as of March 2023. (SRP $59.99)

Loads of high notes of birch and root beer, along with toasted cinnamon sugar pecans on the nose. The body is medium heavy with lots of toasted nut character, light roast coffee bean and pecan pie. You'd think this was a sugar bomb, but the high rye keeps everything corraled. A long, sweet finish ends with a touch of young leather. Quite the journey.
