This is a first offering from this San Diego distillery in a line of experimental whiskey inspired by craft beers. “Cherya” is short for cherry-wood smoked rye IPA. Distilled from malted barley, cherry-wood smoked malt, crystal malt and rye through a combination of opal and mosaic hops and aged is small, charred American oak barrels, this whiskey is truly unique. We got hints of incense and spice from rye and hops. It iss balanced by sugar-cube sweetness from crystal malt, oak-aging and fruit notes from mosaic hops. This is unlike any other whiskey and will take your palette on an adventure.
