Bold and unique artisanal wheat Whiskey.
The Northeast is craft this and artisanal that, so it's no wonder that a duo of friends, Don Poffenroth and Ken Fleischmann, decided to set up show in Spokane, Washington, and start making Spirits. They're food industry veterans and they know a thing or two about cooking stuff. They got themselves a nifty Christian Carl pot still from Germany, found local ingredients (30 miles away, max!), and started distilling. They make Vodka and Gin, and most importantly, cask strength wheat Whiskey.
This curiosity is distilled (twice), matured and bottled on-site. It spends three years in 53-gallon #3 char new American oak barrels, and it's bottled at insane 120 Proof. Don't worry: it may sound intense, but the Spirit is complex and delicate. It provides warm and fruity notes that enthralled the jury at 2015 Berlin International Spirits Competition, who gave it a gold medal. It also won double gold at 2014 WSA and silver from the 2015 Beverage Tasting Institute get-together.
