Belle Meade Bourbon Madeira Cask Finish is the third release in the Special Cask Finish Series — a high-rye bourbon finished in Malmsey Madeira casks, cut to 90.4 proof and never chill-filtered.

Malmsey is the richest and sweetest Madeira style, renowned for its honeyed depth. A proprietary blend of well-aged bourbons is rested in these casks, and the robust cask flavors pair with the bourbon's high-rye content (30%) to create a striking, distinctive profile. Winner of a Double Gold Medal at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 92 points from Distiller.com.
