Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey finished in a Cognac Foeder

Platinum Award: 2024 SIP Awards

Innovation Award: 2024 SIP Awards

Our solera-aged, straight bourbon whiskey finished in Cognac casks starts with well-aged Laws’ flagship Four Grain Bourbon. We migrate this aged whiskey to various-sized Cognac casks, adding flavors and complexity from the French oak. These casks are then married in a 50-year-old, 60 hectoliter (1,600 gallons) Cognac foeder for secondary solera-style aging. Every year we harvest just a portion of the mellowing whiskey, immediately topping up the vessel with new Cognac-finished Four Grain. This solera cycle creates a complex spirit with bright, upfront bourbon flavor followed by nuanced Cognac notes.
