“A unanimous selection by the Skurnik Spirits team, this single barrel instantly won us over with its Vino de Naranja cask finish. The influence of the Vino de Naranja—a Spanish aromatized wine produced by macerating orange peels in sweet white wine made from sun-dried grapes—lends an unforgettable honeyed citrus note.” — Jake Cahill, Skurnik Spirits Specialist
