Re: 100% Wheat Whiskey - Dry Fly

Ok Stu..just to tentatively advance the alternate Wheat Whisky topic...

http://www.scotchwhisky.net/grain/grain1.htm
http://www.planetwhiskies.com/grainwhiskies.html
http://www.royalmilewhiskies.com/cat...?cat_id=W_GRAI

The links above do not specify by grain type.
How is a Scotch single grain different from a U.S. or Canadian etc...are the grains roasted over peat? The lowland product I would expect to be lightly peated at most.

It would make for an interesting tasting...going from domestic to import wheat whiskeys / whiskys.

Re: 100% Wheat Whiskey - Dry Fly

Here is another wheat grain "spirit" unaged ..by Koval

http://www.koval-distillery.com/prod.../midwest-wheat

I have not tried it.....their product offerings look very intriguing...will have to taste some.

It is described as having a very Banana nose and palate of cantaloupe and dried fruit...odd.

Re: 100% Wheat Whiskey - Dry Fly

I picked up two bottles of this on Aug. 7th, the day it came out. The distillery sold out of 250 bottles in 90 minutes and I'm pretty sure the entire WA state sold out within a few hours. I was super lucky to even get the two bottles I did get.

Re: 100% Wheat Whiskey - Dry Fly

Well, I was able to get my hands on a few bottles, and I have to say... it's not bad. In fact, it's a pleasant, light 100% Washington wheat whiskey. It was bottled at 80proof, so they stretched the batch for sure, but I'd say that it's a good whiskey to include to your collection to stand next to the Bernheim.

The longer Alcohology blog post about it is here, but over all, I'd say that I look forward to their batch a few disbursements from now (November/December is the next release of this 14month, 15gallon batch), when these smaller barrels will give way to the larger 53gallon barrel which will be at least two years old.
