Summer is a great time for lighter, refreshing beers. And while it’s tough to beat the appeal of a classic pilsner or hoppy, piney IPA, one of the best choices for the summer months is a refreshing, balanced wheat beer.

Cask-finished bourbon is a bourbon that has been matured in the traditional (and legally defined) virgin, charred American oak barrel, before undergoing a finishing period in a different type of barrel. These barrels have normally been used to mature a different spirit, wine, or beer. Sherry, port, and wine are among the most common finishing casks for bourbon.

Fine wines taste different from mass-produced wines for the same reasons that heirloom tomatoes from your garden taste different from supermarket tomatoes. This is driven more by wine’s raw material than by the winemaking process itself. The grapes for value-oriented wines are cultivated very differently from those destined for super-premium wines, even if they are of the same varietal and grown in the same appellation.

The spread of the concept of finishing bourbon in various types of casks is largely a result of the work of Woodford Reserve and Angel’s Envy. Today, the American whiskey industry is in a perpetual arms race to see who can come up with the next unique finishing cask to grab consumer intrigue.

Most American whiskey makers face a seemingly inevitable fork in the road: One path is marked “bourbon,” and the other is marked “rye.” And if your mash bill doesn’t fit neatly into the federally regulated definitions of either — at least 51 percent corn in the case of bourbon, or else a minimum of 51 percent rye — then tough luck. It’s enough to keep most producers on the straight and narrow, but now and then comes a maker willing to go off-road if that means making a better whiskey.

It never quite gained the iconic status of the Martini or the Manhattan, but with a history that dates back to at least the 1860s, it’s older than both. It’s perceived as “fancy,” but is surprisingly easy to make at home. And while it’s fruity and sweet enough to appeal to novice drinkers, it packs a full 2 ounces of whiskey to satisfy fans of spirit-forward libations.
