Introducing the exclusive Found North Season 2 Single Barrel FN 37 New Wood Finish, now available at El Cerrito Liquor. This remarkable expression is a testament to the art of fine whisky-making, capturing the essence of innovation and tradition in a single, exquisite bottle. Found North has meticulously crafted this single barrel release, selecting the finest grain spirits and finishing them in specially chosen new wood casks to enhance and elevate its already impressive character.

Upon the first pour, you are greeted by a rich amber hue that hints at the depth and complexity within. The nose is a symphony of aromas: delicate vanilla intertwines with notes of caramelized sugar, toasted oak, and a hint of ripe orchard fruits. Each inhalation reveals new layers, from subtle spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to the tantalizing scent of fresh leather and earthy undertones.

On the palate, Found North Season 2 Single Barrel FN 37 delivers an exceptionally smooth and balanced experience. The initial taste offers a burst of rich toffee and dark chocolate, followed by a wave of dried fruits, particularly figs and dates, adding a natural sweetness that lingers. The influence of the new wood finish is evident in the pronounced oak flavors, which are beautifully integrated with the spirit’s inherent complexity. Hints of black pepper and clove add a gentle warmth, while a whisper of smoky char gives it an intriguing depth.

The finish is long and satisfying, with the wood notes gradually fading to leave a lasting impression of sweet spice and creamy vanilla. This sophisticated whisky is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its intricate flavors.

Found North Season 2 Single Barrel FN 37 New Wood Finish is more than just a whisky; it is a journey through craftsmanship and innovation, making it a prized addition to any connoisseur’s collection.

Seasons

A “Season” is defined by the starting blend for a group of single barrels. No two Seasons are the same. Every round of single barrels we release will start with a new and different blend that can be identified by which “Season” is denoted on the label.

Season 2

Season 2 started as a 4-whisky blend with the following ratios:

• 29% 12 year rye in ex-bourbon
• 30% 23 year corn in New Wood
• 36% 15 year corn in ex-bourbon
• 5% 25 year corn in ex-bourbon

We blended Season 2 in April of 2023 and rebarreled it into 20 different casks in May of 2023. Knowing we were filling these barrels right before a hot summer, which would lead to heavy barrel extraction, we used a relatively small proportion of whisky aged in New American Oak. The 30% of 23 year whisky set a foundation of sweetness and viscosity, while the remaining 70% of the blend was comprised of ex-Bourbon aged whiskies to allow space for significant wood extraction. The rye provided a rich baking spice and surprisingly crisp fruit notes. The 15 year corn in ex-Bourbon lent a vibrant butterscotch quality, while the touch of 25 year corn provided a deep floral secondary note.
