Francis James Family Cask Reserve is the inaugural release from Four Hundred And One Spirits of Oaklyn, NJ. We wanted our first bottling to be very special. Family Cask Reserve is a near 4 year old wine finished bourbon of two different mash bills. We took hand selected bourbons that were over 3 years old, and placed them into our family’s homemade Alicante/Moscato wine barrels for over 9 months. From there we took the very slow approach of blending them together and simultaneously proofing them down to 92 proof, all while the whiskey was still in the barrels. The end result is a wholly unique blend and finish that is easy to drink neat, on the rocks, or to enjoy in your favorite cocktail. We are very proud of this release both for what is in the bottle, and what it represents to us as a family.
