This product is made thanks to a patented In-Bottle Finishing process, which involves placing a five-inch spiral-cut piece of wood (called the spire) into a fully aged bottle of whiskey. In the case of this product, [Oak & Eden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-eden) uses a French Oak spiral that rested in Cabernet Sauvignon. This process helps the finished result to achieve a new depth of flavor that couldn't be achieved from the use of a single barrel by itself. The Bourbon whiskey finished with a Cabernet Sauvignon-steeped French Oak spire, provides a unique experience that's full of notes that are sweet, fruity and reminiscent of dark chocolate and savory spices due to the use of the oak wood. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wine-infused Spirits:** Opportunity for distilleries to experiment with wine-infused spirits using in-bottle finishing process. - **In-bottle Finishing:** Innovative process to enhance the flavors of fully aged bottles of whiskey, presents opportunities for new flavors in the distilled spirits industry. - **Small-batch Release:** Emerging trend of micro-distilleries creating unique, limited edition batches of spirits with innovative flavor profiles. ### Where This Applies - **Distilled Spirits:** Distilleries could take advantage of the process of wine-infused spirits and in-bottle finishing, creating taste sensations for liquor connoisseurs. - **Wine:** Wineries could collaborate with distilleries to explore unique flavor profiles, leveraging the in-bottle finishing process for barrel-aged wines. - **Hospitality:** Hotels, bars, and restaurants could offer exclusive small-batch releases of wine-infused spirits to appeal to discerning customers seeking unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffee-Inspired Bourbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-eden.md) - [Wine Barrel-Finished Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indian-whiskey.md) - [French Brandy-Inspired Bourbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrell-craft-spirits.md) - [Naturally Infused Bourbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/five-springs-infused-bourbon.md) - [Rich Spice-Forward Whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodford-reserve1.md) - [Wine-Flavored Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westward-whiskey.md) - [Woody Characteristic Bourbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrell-vantage-bourbons.md) - [Toasted French Oak Bourbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-bourbon.md) - [Autumnal Kentucky Bourbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bear-fight-orchard-vine.md)
