Tasting Notes
The following flavour notes are summarised from Japanese retailer PGS's description of Red Cask, rather than a personal tasting.
- Nose: A separate aroma assessment has not been verified in the source material used here.
- Palate: Vanilla and dark chocolate, with cinnamon, dried cherry and a cornbread-like sweetness. PGS also describes a berry acidity from the wine-cask influence.
- Finish: Toffee apple, charred oak and clove, with a light tannic edge.
A Collaboration Rooted in Iowa
Slipknot and Cedar Ridge announced their whiskey partnership in June 2019. Red Cask builds on that collaboration with a further maturation step: the distillery finishes aged bourbon and rye in its red wine casks before blending. That finishing stage is the defining feature of this release; it is not a total age statement.

Since we ship alcoholic beverages, all sales are generally final. We don't accept returns or exchanges just for a change of mind.But if things go wrong—like your bottle breaks in transit or we accidentally send you the wrong one—we've absolutely got your back! Here is how we handle it:
The 7-Day Window
If your item is damaged or incorrect, please reach out to us within 7 days of signing for your package. After 7 days, we unfortunately won't be able to process a return or exchange.

If we sent you the wrong item by mistake, please make sure it stays unopened and in its original condition. (If your item arrived broken, just safely take some clear photos for us instead!)

Any packages that are refused by the customer upon delivery, or returned to sender due to an incorrect/incomplete address provided by the customer, are subject to a return shipping and restocking fee. This fee will be deducted from your refund.
In addition, original shipping costs are strictly non-refundable for refused packages. If a package is abandoned or destroyed by the carrier due to a customer's refusal to pay local customs duties, no refund will be issued.
