THE SPLINTER GROUP SPIRITS

Today, the Splinter Group Spirits is a partnership between Vintage Wine Estates, The Wilkinson Family and winemaker Bob Cabral. We are dedicated to crafting the best spirits around... For experienced wine barrels that we use to finish the Splinter Spirits family of whiskeys, he prefers high elevation, center of France forests (like Chateauroux or Bertrange) for their flavors and aromas. The tight grained staves are air dried for 32-36 months before they are coopered into barrels. Bob also prefers to use a combination of coopering techniques - fire bent for the spice & mineral tones and water bent for the creme brûlée and butterscotch tones. By controlling the origin of the wood source, we are able to complete our vision in the glass with consistent and precision results.
