Only in 1784 they became a registered trademark. This whiskey is matured for 16 years, first a part in American bourbon barrels and a part in Spanish oloroso barrels. Then they are put togheter and ‘married’ in port casks, hence the name ‘Three Wood’ or ‘Triple Wood’, it has a soft and honeyed flavor.
