Dry Fly Port Finished Wheat Whiskey

Dry Fly Port Finished Wheat Whiskey offers a unique tasting experience with its blend of wheat and port wine characteristics. It's known for its bright copper color with a reddish blush, a fragrant nose of vanilla bean, toasted wheat, and red fruit notes like plum and cherry, and a soft, viscous palate with hints of honeycomb, vanilla custard, raspberry, and red currant, balanced by oak and baking spices. The finish is long, warming, and fruity, with a lingering sweetness and a touch of peppery spice.

Nose: Initially, a pleasant mix of vanilla and citrus with a subtle oak presence. The aroma develops into a sweet red wine character, with notes of grapes, plum, figs, and mulling spices. Further nosing reveals hints of dried fruits like prunes and raisins, with a touch of licorice.

Palate: The initial sip starts with the wheat and vanilla notes found in the nose, which then fade into a rich, sweet, and syrupy profile reminiscent of port or sherry. Flavors of grapes and plum dominate, balanced by the underlying wheat whiskey.

Finish: The finish is sweet and lingering on the tongue, with a subtle spice and a touch of oak. Some tasters also detect a lingering huckleberry note, especially if the port wine used was infused with huckleberries.
