Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. announced the release of Cascade Moon 15 Year Old Barrel Proof, which is landing in select U.S. markets this month.

The new Cascade Moon offering originally entered the barrel at 115 proof, where it was aged for 15 years in Cascade Hollow’s single-story rickhouses. As a result of the curious conditions experienced by the barrels, the proof of the offering dropped to 79.8, below the minimum standard to be classified as a whiskey.

Since the line’s inception in 2020, the mission of the Cascade Moon Series has been to further conversations around the American whiskey category while bringing consumers a variety of quality small-batch liquids. As a surprise twist on barrel proof, this Cascade Moon release offers drinkers a unique tasting experience by bringing a barrel proof spirit distilled by grain to consumers and providing an opportunity for more discussion around the relationship between proof and quality in the category.

The release of Cascade Moon 15 Year Old Barrel Proof comes off the heels of Cascade Moon 13 Year Old Rye winning Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition last month.

Overall, the Cascade Moon Series pays homage to the distillery’s history, while continuing to set the tone for the future of the whisky category. Cascade Moon will be available in select markets for consumers to purchase for a limited time at a suggested retail price of $124.99.
