OPPIDAN Solera Bourbon Small Batch French Oak Oloroso Sherry Cask ( Batch #35) 750 ml

OPPIDAN Solera Bourbon (Batch #35) is a small-batch bourbon aged using the solera method — the same fractional-blending system developed for Spanish sherry — across three barrel types at once: American oak, French oak, and Oloroso sherry casks. Only the American oak barrels are ever fully emptied and refilled, so each batch carries forward a little of what came before. The mash bill leans into complexity, mixing corn with malted rye, chocolate malted rye, Special B caramelized malt, and 2-row barley. Bottled at 46% ABV, it drinks rich and layered, with dark dried fruit and toasted oak from the sherry casks sitting over a spicier bourbon base. A good pick for bourbon drinkers who want something built differently than a standard single barrel.

How to drink OPPIDAN Solera Bourbon Batch #35

The sherry-cask influence favors a splash of water or a single rock over neat — enough to loosen the dried-fruit sweetness without washing it out. It also holds its own in an Old Fashioned, where the extra oak and dark-fruit notes from the solera aging give the drink more depth than a standard bourbon would.
