Wittenberg Distilling Blue Wing Rye Whiskey....$33.99

45% ABV

Made in Missouri

"My family was in the distilling business in St. Louis from the 1880s until Prohibition put them out of business in 1919. They sold whiskey they made under the name Blue Wing Whiskey. We found a copy of the original front label on the internet and my brother, who is an artist, was able to recreate it for use today.  C.H. Wittenberg Distilling Co. made both a bourbon and a rye. We focused on a rye. This whiskey is a blend of 60% rye, 15% caramelized rye and 25% smoked barley malt. I am collaborating with a small local distillery that makes several other fine spirits, Square One Distillery in Lafayette Square, to make the whiskey. This is a very rare opportunity to bring back this spirit to market." -- William C. Wittenberg, owner

Almost any grain can be malted – the process in which the grain is moistened and begins to germinate, creating enzymes in the seed that will convert starches in the grain into sugars. Barley malt is the most common and rye malt much less common.

Unmalted rye has a black pepper, thin mouthfeel. Malted rye has a big malty, caramel sweetness along with spice.,

“Dair Ghaelach” means quite simply, Irish Oak.
While the name may be simple, the story of this whiskey is unique. This whiskey has been finished in casks made from virgin Irish oak grown in Kylebeg Wood on the Ballykilcavan Estate, near Stradbally in Co. Laois.
The oak influences this special whiskey with the unique flavour of the heart of Ireland.
Its unique provenance told in each sublime sip, this is the tale of our native oak striking harmony with the classically rich and spicy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey character.
This is a whiskey like no other.

Aged for 5 years in new barrels of American oak, Weber Haus's newest cachaça, Solera, was named after its storage process, in which the cachaça to be bottled is removed from the barrels closest to the ground. This process is nothing more than four rows of barrels stacked horizontally, in which the drink to be filled is removed from those that support the base of the pile, which are completed by those of the row above, and so on to the top. As the barrels used in the storage of Solera cachaça are new and with woods of different tostagens, this replacement method adds personality to the distillate with touches of vanilla, white chocolate and toasted coffee. "Solera cachaça is aged for 5 years in new oak barrels, in which each row has a specific tostagem. The mixture that is obtained by filling the barrels in this storage process gives Solera a unique flavor, in which one perceives in the palate notes of vanilla and toasted coffee". - explains Evandro Weber, CEO of Weber Haus.
