Oregon Oak Meets Madeira
Bull Run's flagship Oregon Single Malt — pure malt whiskey made from Oregon Select malted barley and Bull Run watershed water — gets the cask-finish treatment here: seven years in Oregon oak, then a finishing rest in Madeira wine casks. The fortified-wine wood lends the malt a dried-fruit and honeyed depth that plays against the grain's natural nuttiness.

Tasting Notes
Expect the Madeira finish to show first: dried apricot and fig, honey, and a walnut-like nuttiness layered over malt sweetness and Oregon oak. The seven years in wood keep it structured rather than sweet — a dessert-wine cask finish with a backbone.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a Glencairn to catch the Madeira influence, or with a splash of water. It pairs well with aged cheeses and dark chocolate — treat it like a digestif malt.
