Wheat In, Silk Out
Most American vodka starts as corn or is sourced neutral spirit; Dry Fly went the other way, building its flagship on soft white winter wheat from family-owned Wisota Farm outside Spokane. It was the first thing the distillery ever ran through its stills, and it announced itself loudly: Double Gold and Best in Show at the 2009 World Spirits Competition. The wheat shows in the glass — creamy, buttery texture with vanilla, floral, and citrus aromatics rather than a blank neutral canvas.
Tasting Notes
Creamy and buttersmooth on the palate with vanilla and soft floral notes; citrus aromatics lift the finish. Remarkably smooth at 80 proof with a gentle wheat sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Chill it and pour it neat to taste what wheat vodka actually is, or put it to work in a vodka martini where the creamy texture replaces the need for vermouth-heavy softening. It is also a natural fit for a Moscow mule — the citrus notes play well with lime and ginger.
