The bourbon begins with a mash bill of 89% corn, 16% rye, and 4% malted barley. The bourbon consists of a blend of nine and ten-year-old Kentucky bourbons, six, seven, eight, and twelve-year-old bourbons from Indiana, and seven and fifteen-year-old bourbons from Tennessee. After blending, the whiskey is matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Spain.

Barrell says this creates a memorable sipping 115.52-proof whiskey loaded with notes of toasted coffee, golden honey, and candied fruits.

New tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels celebrates two UNESCO-recognized Mexican traditions

A new limited-edition tequila is bringing together two of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural traditions in a single bottle. Reserva de la Familia, the luxury tequila brand from Jose Cuervo, has unveiled Private Cask Collection Edition No. 2: Mole Cask, the first tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels.

The release highlights the deep connection between Mexico’s culinary and distilling heritage. The tequila begins its journey in the agave fields surrounding Tequila, Jalisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its historic agave landscape and tequila production. It is then finished in barrels seasoned with mole, one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes and part of the country’s UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of traditional cuisine.
