Roughstock Montana Spring Wheat Whiskey
Out of stock
An incredibly unique Wheat Whiskey from the folks at the Roughstock distillery in Montana. This is distilled using Spring Wheat. This wheat is usually used in bread making, but they use this grain because it has a higher protein content. Most Wheat whiskey is aged in New Barrels, however for this one they use their used Pure Malt whiskey barrels. They then finish the whiskey in heavily toasted French Oak barrels.
This has got to be the surprise of the year. It is incredibly clean and fresh on the palate and is an incredible summer drink. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants something a little different from a unique distillery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright amber-gold with warm copper edges and a subtle honey glow.
Nose
Bright grain-forward aroma of fresh spring wheat, like warm bread dough and brioche. Subtle vanilla cream and a hint of citrus zest weave with delicate toasted French oak, bringing spice, almond, and a faint caramel note. Clean, inviting, and summery in its fragrance.
Palate
Clean, bright and refreshing, with pale wheat sweetness carrying notes of green apple and pear. Crisp citrus hints mingle with subtle vanilla, while heavily toasted French oak adds gentle caramel and spice. Light to medium body, silky texture, and a clean finish that stays fresh and summery.
Finish
Long, clean finish with toasted French oak. Vanilla and caramel linger, woven with a whisper of spice as the wheat’s delicate sweetness ebbs into a bright, fresh, lightly floral close.
