Nelson Bros. Mourvèdre Cask Finished Bourbon Whiskey

Nelson Bros. Mourvèdre Cask Finished Bourbon Whiskey is a 2023 entry in the Nelson Brothers Cask Finish Series from Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery in Nashville. A blend of straight bourbon whiskeys receives its final maturation in Mourvèdre wine casks supplied by The Withers Winery in California’s Sierra Foothills. Bottled at 53.75% ABV / 107.5 proof, this 750 mL release brings grape-cask influence to the distillery’s bourbon blend while preserving the exact single-bottle configuration shown on the package.

The distillery describes almond, cherry cobbler, and sandalwood on the nose. Currant, black licorice, and cumin shape the palate, followed by black tea, sweet mint, and honey on the finish. Nelson’s Green Brier also links the Mourvèdre casks with dark plum and cracked peppercorn character, connecting the wine-cask treatment to the bourbon’s fruit and spice profile. The front label identifies the bottle as a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys finished in Mourvèdre wine casks, with the expression name, strength, and 750 mL volume presented together.
