Dry Fly Straight Whiskey Triticale 3 Year 90 Proof
Dry Fly Straight Whiskey Triticale is a fascinating and innovative spirit from the Spokane, Washington distillery. This whiskey is notable for being made from triticale, a hybrid grain developed from a cross between wheat and rye. Aged for a minimum of three years and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it offers a distinctive flavor profile that combines elements of both wheat and rye whiskies, resulting in a unique and intriguing experience.
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: The nose is expected to be intriguing, offering a blend of grain characteristics. You'll likely find a sweet, bready note reminiscent of wheat, along with a subtle spiciness often associated with rye – perhaps hints of cinnamon or pepper. There might also be notes of vanilla, light caramel, and a fresh, earthy quality.
-
Flavor: The palate should be smooth yet distinct. Expect an initial sweetness from the wheat, quickly followed by a mild, peppery spice from the rye influence. Flavors of light caramel, toasted grain, and subtle fruit (like apple or pear) are likely. The 90 proof should give it a pleasant warmth without being overwhelming.
-
Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is likely medium-bodied, possibly with a slightly creamy texture that carries the unique grain notes well.
-
Finish: The finish should be medium in length, with the sweet grain and subtle spice lingering. A light oak presence and a clean, gentle warmth are expected, leaving a distinctive impression of the triticale grain.
