“AN HONESTLY CRAFTED
MICHIGAN WHISKY”
Long Road Wheat Whisky is an honestly crafted, 100% Michigan-made whisky from Grand Rapids’ first distillery.
It is full-bodied and full-of-flavor – proof that careful distillation and respectful treatment of the process results in a more authentic taste. We continue to put everything into getting this one just right, starting with the red winter wheat we source from a farmer we know by name.
Enjoy this 100% Wheat Whisky on the rocks or in your favorite whisky cocktail!
Process & Techniques:
- Milled from locally-sourced whole grain and fermented on-site
- Twice distilled on our 500 gallon Vendome copper pot still
- Aged in charred new American oak barrels from the Barrel Mill
- Barrels are carefully selected and blended for each batch
- Non-chill filtered
- Not treated with any carbon or charcoal filtration techniques
Tasting Notes:
- Subtle vanilla candy on the nose
- Hints of vanilla toffee and cream of wheat
- Mild fruit and spice at first taste
- Sweet notes of caramelized pecan on the palate
- Long, creamy finish with just enough bite to mix in drinks
