Distilled from all the badass MN winter wheat your pampered palate can handle (71%). |
 |
Aged exclusively in an Atlas barrel, a now shuttered cooperage known for imparting tremendous flavor on spirits…and letting the angels be greedy jerks. Just 100 bottles escaped their thirst. |

Sweet and welcoming, but old and incapable of brevity. Vanilla cake, butterscotch, and an antique oak desk with a leather chair show up early and refuse to leave. |
Proud to be putting Minnesota craft spirits on the map, J. Carver Distillery has been producing award winning bourbons, ryes, and wheat whiskey since its inception in 2012. The straight wheat whiskey in this bottle is not only one of oldest barrels from their rickhouse, but was also aged in an Atlas barrel - a now shuttered cooperage that was known for the outstanding flavor profile their barrels imparted on spirits. If you have been looking for a unicorn, you just found it. Enjoy!
Tasting Notes: Vanilla cake batter, butterscotch, stewed dark fruit, and leathery antique oak with lingering warm finish.
