Rogue Chipotle Whiskey is a flavored whiskey from Rogue Ales & Spirits in Oregon, made with Rogue Farms chipotle peppers added three ways, in the brew kettle, the still and the barrel, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
It begins at the Rogue farm in Independence, Oregon, where two acres of jalapeños grow near the banks of the Willamette River and ripen until bright red before being smoked into chipotles. The whiskey is made from six simple ingredients: Rogue Farms Dare, Risk and Dare R-3 malts, chipotle peppers, free-range coastal water and Rogue's proprietary Pacman yeast. Rogue Spirits, established in 2003, makes multi-ingredient small-batch spirits in handcrafted copper pot stills.
Layered with smoky, spicy chipotle flavor that is deeply integrated rather than added on, with a gentle heat that tingles the taste buds and a long, spicy finish.
