Undiluted, Unfiltered, Unapologetic

This is Dry Fly's wheat whiskey exactly as it came out of the barrel: no water added, non-chill filtered, 120 proof. The base is the same 100% soft white winter wheat spirit — fermented a full six days, double distilled through the distillery's Christian Carl still — aged three years in new #3-char American oak. Reviewers consistently note it drinks softer than its proof suggests, which is the wheat talking. It took Double Gold at the 2015 New York World Wine & Spirits Competition, and retail copy calls it the producer's highest-rated whiskey.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated wheat character — buttery, vanilla-heavy, with caramel and baking spice amplified by the proof. Water opens it dramatically: honey, toasted grain, and oak emerge as the heat recedes.

How to Enjoy

Add water gradually — this is a whiskey built for the dropper, and a teaspoon at a time finds the sweet spot. On ice it makes a whiskey old fashioned with real backbone; a half-ounce in coffee is a cold-weather move.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cask strength whiskey?
Whiskey bottled at the proof it came out of the barrel — no water added to bring it down to a standard bottling proof. Here that is 120 proof (60% ABV).

How is this different from Dry Fly's regular wheat whiskey?
Same whiskey, same 3-year aging — this bottling is simply undiluted and non-chill filtered, so it is more intense and benefits from added water.

Is 120 proof too hot to drink neat?
Reviewers note it drinks softer than the number suggests, but most drinkers will want water or ice. Start neat, then dilute to taste.
