'The Beverly: The QuintEssential Edition' is an exclusive, limited-release American 'Single Malt Whiskey,' with only 675 bottles available. This special release is the result of a collaboration between Andrew Borenzweig, Founder of Beverly Spirits, and Master Distiller Murphy Quint of Cedar Ridge Distillery.
Aged for six years, the whiskey is finished in "First Fill Amontillado Sherry and French Oak casks, which impart a layered complexity to its flavor profile and is bottled at a natural cask strength of 116.9 proof (58.45% ABV), offering a full-bodied, intense experience." The aroma is characterized by rich notes of "cocoa and soft leather, followed by waves of caramel, toffee, and candied cherry; it finishes with dark chocolate, sherry sweetness, and the warmth of French oak."
Presented in 750ml bottles, The Beverly: The QuintEssential Edition is available at select retailers, bars, restaurants, and hotels in California and Tennessee. Additionally, a limited quantity can be purchased online in 47 states.
