Griffo Stout Barrel Whiskey Petaluma California

Description

Griffo Stout Barrel Whiskey from Petaluma, California offers a transformative twist on classic bourbon. Made with organic corn and roasted malts, it starts life in new American oak barrels before finishing its aging journey in Lagunitas stout beer barrels—creating a decadent mashup of coffee, chocolate, and bourbon sweetness .

Tasting it reveals layered richness: fresh fig, caramel, coffee bean, and dark chocolate on the first sip, evolving into a long finish with espresso notes and a hint of tobacco warmth . One whisky reviewer described the palate as plush with mocha and toasted almonds, balanced by rye’s peppery spice and a lingering touch of cardamom, vanilla, and tobacco.
