Cask Strength Blended Bourbon strips that courtesy away: it comes off the barrel at full proof, with no water added and no chill filtration to strip the oils and texture that make high-proof bourbon exceptional. What you get is every bit of the oak, grain, and time that went into the barrel, delivered without dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a blended bourbon, it combines straight bourbons of different ages and mash bills — giving it more complexity than a single-barrel expression while retaining the raw power of cask strength. It rewards patience: a few drops of water or a large ice cube transforms the heat into a layered, expansive pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e High West Distillery, Park City, Utah\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cask Strength Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cask Strength (varies by batch)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/whiskey\"\u003ebourbon whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does cask strength mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e The bourbon is bottled at the same proof it exits the barrel — no water is added after aging.
