About this bottle

Nelcius Whiskey de France Cabernet Sauvignon is a French whisky finished in casks that previously held Cabernet Sauvignon wine, a secondary maturation that layers red-wine character onto the base spirit. The wine cask imparts a deep ruby tint and a nose of ripe red fruit, baking spice, and oak, with a full-bodied palate carrying dark fruit and spice through to a long finish. It's a whisky built for drinkers who already enjoy wine-cask-finished spirits — bourbon or Scotch finished in port or sherry casks, for instance — and want to see what French oak and Cabernet Sauvignon add to a whisky base.

How to drink Nelcius Whiskey de France Cabernet Sauvignon

Give it a splash of water or one rock to open up the wine-cask fruit rather than drowning it — this is a whisky worth tasting on its own before deciding whether it needs more dilution. It's a good conversation-starter bottle for a tasting flight alongside other cask-finished whiskies.

What the verse says

Good to know

Questions about this bottle

What does cask finishing mean for a whisky like Nelcius Whiskey de France Cabernet Sauvignon?

It means the whisky spends additional time in a used wine barrel after its primary maturation, picking up color and flavor from whatever the barrel previously held — in this case Cabernet Sauvignon wine.

What gives Nelcius Whiskey de France Cabernet Sauvignon its red color?

Its ruby tint and red-fruit character come from finishing in barrels that previously held Cabernet Sauvignon wine.

Can Nelcius Whiskey de France Cabernet Sauvignon be used in cocktails?

It can, though its wine-cask character comes through best in a simple whiskey sour or an Old Fashioned rather than a cocktail with a lot of competing ingredients.
