Experience one of the most distinctive releases from Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. with Cascade Moon Mellow as Moonlight 15 Year Barrel Proof 750ml. This limited-edition Tennessee spirit challenges conventional expectations by proving that exceptional quality isn't defined by high proof alone. Distilled from a traditional mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, the spirit was filled into new charred American oak barrels and matured for 15 years in Cascade Hollow's historic single-story warehouses in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

During its extended maturation, the unique warehouse conditions caused more alcohol than water to evaporate, naturally lowering the barrel proof to 79.8 proof (39.9% ABV). Because it fell just below the legal minimum of 80 proof, it cannot officially be labeled as "whiskey," despite never being diluted after leaving the barrel. The result is an exceptionally mellow, elegant spirit with remarkable depth and balance that stays true to the "Mellow as Moonlight" philosophy behind the Cascade Moon series.

The nose reveals inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baked apple, and subtle stone fruit. Rich flavors of honey, roasted nuts, gentle baking spice, dried fruit, and sweet corn unfold across a silky palate, while delicate oak and soft mineral notes add complexity. The finish is long, smooth, and remarkably approachable, making this an outstanding collector's bottle and an unforgettable sipping experience for enthusiasts of mature American spirits.
