"Trader Joe's made its foray into whiskey more than 10 years ago. Since then, it has released a number of popular Trader Joe's whiskey varieties. Now, a potentially new Kentucky bourbon joins its other offerings on store shelves. In a post made to r/traderjoes on December 9, 2025, a shopper shared a picture of bottles of Trader Joe's Cask Head Sherry Cask Finish bourbon at a location in South Pasadena, California."
"It seems that this seasonal release has been in the works for at least a year. In December 2024, Jacob Kiper of @comingwhiskey announced the upcoming release by posting an image of its label on Instagram. The label described the bourbon as a "light-bodied Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey finished in sherry wine casks" with "notes of nuts and stone fruits," and bottled by Dynasty Spirits in Dallas, Texas."
Trader Joe's introduced a Cask Head Sherry Cask Finish Kentucky straight bourbon as a store-exclusive seasonal release priced at $49.99. Bottles were photographed on shelves in South Pasadena, California, and posted online in December 2025. The label describes a light-bodied bourbon finished in sherry wine casks with notes of vanilla, cinnamon spice, dark fruits, nuts, and stone fruits. Dynasty Spirits in Dallas, Texas, is listed as the bottler. The sherry casks previously contained Pedro Ximenex Sherry from Jerez, Andalusia, Spain, and the bourbon was finished in those casks for six months. Reported allocations appear very limited, sometimes as few as 12 bottles per store.
