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. Key Specs & Origin Feature Detail Name Dry Fly Straight Triticale Whiskey Producer / Distillery Dry Fly Distilling — Spokane, Washington, USA  Grain Triticale (a hybrid of rye + wheat)  Age Aged 3 years in new, American oak 53-gallon barrels  ABV / Proof 45% ABV / 90 proof  Bottle Size 750 ml Accolades 96 points from Tasting Panel Magazine 2018  Tasting Profile 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.  What Makes It Special 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. Serving & Pairing Suggestions 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.
