Winter wheat color in the bottle, light amber/gold with red highlights in the glass. Upon swirling, edgeline is light and legs develop slowly. First Impression: Sweetish barley malt start with dried dark fruits. Rather aromatic, full barley notes, leather, apricots, and slight citrus, with barrel char and light vanilla notes. Taste: Quite a bit, if not jarringly, different from the nose. Strong char and a ‘cowboy style’ start to it. Upon swirl, rapid onset of wood char notes, some spiciness, with papaya, citrus, and vanilla oak notes. Medium mouth feel, with some bite to it. Nice drying finish is quite long with slight lingering and tingling to the tongue and lips.
We are proud to offer you our Tatoosh Rye Whiskey, made from the highest quality American rye grains.The most popular whiskey until prohibition, rye whiskey is being revived with Tatoosh Rye – a style of whiskey with a history as rich as its flavor. Our Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of select rye grains, which are mashed and fermented before being distilled through a copper pot still. Following distillation, the whiskey is aged in new, American oak casks with a #4 char.
Our Tatoosh Whiskey does not fit the definition of a Scotch or Peet Style Whiskey. Our Whiskey uses some of the best barley from the Pacific Northwest and water from the volcanic Cascade Mountains, that we age in French Oak casks.
