Fernet Francisco Black Rye Cask Reserve No 6 750 ml

Fernet Francisco Black Rye Cask Reserve No. 6 is a distinctive limited-edition American Fernet that brings together bold botanical character and the rich, spicy influence of rye whiskey. Produced in California, this unusual cask reserve offers a deeper, smokier interpretation of Fernet Francisco's herbal style.

The expression combines rye, malted rye, fresh native mountain herbs, and four-year-old blended rye distilled at the producer's estate. The spirit is further influenced by toasted barrel material before spending approximately six months in seasoned American oak casks, developing its exceptionally dark appearance and complex barrel-driven character.

The resulting profile is bold and layered. Traditional herbal bitterness is complemented by the warming spice and grain character of rye, while oak maturation introduces subtle sweetness and a distinctive smoky dimension. The balance between herbs, rye, toasted wood, and gentle sweetness creates an intriguing crossover between classic Fernet and barrel-aged American spirits.

On the palate, expect a rich and concentrated experience with herbal intensity, rye spice, oak, restrained sweetness, and subtle smoke. The finish is smooth and warming, with lingering spice and botanical character.

Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml format, Fernet Francisco Black Rye Cask Reserve No. 6 can be enjoyed neat as an after-dinner digestif, over a large ice cube, or incorporated into spirit-forward cocktails where its combination of rye and bitter botanicals can add considerable depth.
