PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dry Fly Straight Triticale Whiskey is a rare single-grain whiskey (made from triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye) that offers a spicy, peppery kick tempered by wheat’s smoother, softer qualities. Aged 3 years in new American oak and bottled at 90 proof, it strikes a balance between boldness and elegance, making it interesting both neat and in cocktails.

Here are how flavor, aroma, and finish tend to come through for this whiskey:
| Aspect | Notes |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Moderate grain sweetness; vanilla, oak, some lean bread or baking bread tones; spices like pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon; occasional citrus or mild herbal undertones. |
| Palate / Taste | Initially soft-sweet — caramel or honey undertones, vanilla; then peppery or spicy impressions from the rye side of the triticale; baking-spice elements; maybe hints of dried fruits or nuttiness. |
| Finish | Fairly smooth and relatively soft for a 90 proof triticale; lingering oak spice, vanilla, subtle grain sweetness; finish might be slightly dry/tannin in the tail. |
Unique Grain: Triticale is unusual for whiskey, especially being the primary or “straight” grain. It gives the spice of rye with wheat-like smoothness.
Balanced Profile: Because of the mash grain and the 3-year aging, it avoids being overly harsh or dominated by oak — it has enough structure without overwhelming sweetness.
Good Value & Craft Appeal: For whiskey lovers looking for something outside the usual wheat / rye / bourbon roster, this offers novelty plus quality.
Strong Reviews: High marks from critics (e.g. Tasting Panel) strengthen its positioning. Great for sipping neat or with a small amount of water to open up aromatics.
Complex enough to reward multiple sips: spice, grain, oak interplay.
Stands out in a cocktail or whiskey lineup because of its unusual grain — good talking point.
Neat / On the Rocks — Use large ice cube to slow dilution and enjoy nose first.
Cocktails: It could work nicely in an Old Fashioned twist, or cocktails that benefit from spicy grain (perhaps with bitters or citrus to accent).
Food Pairings: Strong cheeses, spiced desserts (pumpkin spice, apple, nutmeg), chocolate with spice, or even BBQ.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML/700ML unless otherwise noted.
21 and Over: Adult Signature Required
