The Distillarium Cask & Spin is a cask-strength straight triticale whiskey from Yakima, Washington, aged four years in American oak and bottled non-chill filtered at 116 proof (58% ABV).
Triticale is a rare hybrid cereal grain, a cross between wheat and rye that marries rye's robust, peppery spice with wheat's soft sweetness, and The Distillarium uses only triticale grown in central Washington. Cask & Spin is a small-batch release aged four years in American oak using the distillery's Cask & Spin rotation process, and its name and identity are inspired by the discipline, power and precise rotations of equestrian reining, where horses spin in tight circles. It is bottled at true cask strength.
The hybrid grain yields a unique experience, pairing an initial caramelized pastry profile with a distinct roasty tea and grain finish.
The equestrian label makes it a standout gift for horse lovers and whiskey explorers.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
Triticale whiskeys are rare, making this a true collector's pour.
At cask strength, a few drops of water open the pastry notes.
Serve it in a Glencairn glass.
A large ice cube tames the proof for slow sipping.
It makes a bold Old Fashioned.
Pair a pour with apple pie.
Equestrian fans will love the label art.
