Dry Fly Port Barrel Finish is a straight wheat whiskey from Spokane, Washington, aged three years in new American oak and then rested an additional 9 to 12 months in freshly dumped port wine barrels, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Wine meets whiskey and true excellence is born. Dry Fly Distilling, founded in Spokane, Washington, in 2007 by two friends inspired while fly fishing in the Pacific Northwest, is a farm-to-bottle producer that makes every drop from raw materials grown locally by sustainable farms and never buys bulk alcohol. The Port Finish starts as the same whiskey as Dry Fly's Washington Wheat, made from 100% local soft white wheat and twice distilled, before its time in port barrels.
Wheat and vanilla form the base, transitioning to rich, wine-like notes of grape and plum with dark fruit, caramel and gentle spice for a refined, fruity sip.
