Crystal clear. Once the appearance is considered, it holds absolutely no resemblance to a classic Vodka and we mean this in very positive sense. It’s amazingly fruity ( apples & berry ) with strong accents of cream soda and hints of cocoa. The palate delivers the same while being amazingly lush with a silky texture that extends the flavors for minutes. This attractive drink has perhaps launched a new spirits category.
Dry Fly’s Barrel Aged Gin is a one year aged version of our regular gin. With the same botanical deck, it is aged in one of our own wheat whiskey barrels on second use. This aging is typically longer than most aged gins and results in a softer, rounded version of our gin with a bit of blonde color.
Different enough that even gin haters will like it and just familiar enough for gin lovers to embrace it as a new beginning in gin adventures.
“There is no question that this is a young bourbon, but how Dry Fly has managed to pull a level of complexity and sophistication out of such young spirit is absolutely beyond us.”
Dry Fly Wheat Whiskey is made at the eponymous distillery in Spokane in a 450-litre pot still. Bottled at cask strength, this is big and bold.On the palate, neat, this whiskey was very soft, almost like a baby’s blanket caressing my tongue, with freshly baked orange scones, cinnamon toast, white pepper and peppermint notes.
