New Arrivals: Dry Fly Bourbon, Triticale Whiskey and Port Finished Wheat Whiskey

Hey All,

The holiday season is in full swing here at Healthy Spirits, and we couldn’t be happier to see all the friendly faces with interest in craft beer and whiskey. One of the better micro distillers we’ve seen interest in lately, Dry Fly, is really hitting their stride with some new releases that absolutely blew us away. They were the first registered distillery in Washington post prohibition, and had a hand in pushing the legislation through that made it legal to distill in Washington once again. One of the big differences that sets them apart from other micro distillers is the use of normal 53 gallon barrels for aging. Their not trying to rush anything and it really shows in the flavor profile. Here’s what we got in:

Dry Fly Triticale Whiskey $29.99: A rare hybrid grain made from crossing wheat and rye, Dry Fly is the only producer with a triticale whiskey on the market. Beautiful cereal grain notes from the wheat mix flawlessly with the delicate floral/peppercorn spice from the rye.

Dry Fly Bourbon Whiskey $39.99: This bourbon clocks in at a robust 101 proof, giving a great bit of depth and mouthfeel for a whiskey on the younger side. Has a mash bill of 60% corn, 20% malted wheat and 20% malted barley. Notes of kettle corn, brittle, butterscotch and a hint of white florals.

Port Finished Wheat Whiskey $29.99: Since Washington is a big producer of wheat, Dry Fly’s flagship offering is wheat whiskey. This is a super limited version of their flagship finished in huckleberry port barrels. Notes of honey and cereal grain mix with berries and cream.

Available @ Both Shops

Cheers

New Arrival: Old Stock 2011 Cellar Reserve (Aged in Brandy Barrels)

Hey All,

Just got in a small amount of the Old Stock Cellar Reserve 2011. They’re a little cheaper this year since they skipped the ceramic bottle, and we loved the use of brandy barrels. Adds some nice creaminess to the mouthfeel while adding some subtle flavors of dates, prunes and walnuts. Clocking in at a robust 15.2% alcohol this beast of a beer is drinking great now but will probably cellar well for the next 5+ years or longer. Not much of this around so get it while you can! Cheers

New Arrivals: Exclusive Malts- North Highland, Craigellachie and Peated Dalmore

Hey All,

I’ve been following the Exclusive Malts closely for a while. The latest three releases from JVS are some of the best I’ve tried to date. All are cask strength/non-chill filtered single malts with no added coloring. Here’s what we got in at both shops:

-Exclusive Malts “Craigellachie” 12 Year Single Malt 2000′ Cask #149 $99.99: Lush and creamy mouthfeel with notes of wild flower honey, cereal grain, heather and a hint of vanilla. Super approachable at cask strength

-Exclusive Malts “North Highland” 14 Year Single Malt 1999′ Cask #678 $99.99: An amazing single malt sourced from Glenmorangie. Has a beautiful minerality and texture with a distinct earthiness and charred oak flavor in the finish.

-Exclusive Malts “Dalmore” (Peated) 13 Year Single Malt 2000′ Cask #6952 $109.99: I’ve never seen a peated Dalmore before and boy did I like it. A hint of nougat sweetness perfectly compliments notes of earth and smoke. Get this while you can.

Available @ Both Shops

New Arrival: Parker’s Heritage 7th Edition Promise of Hope

Howdy folks,
Parker’s Heritage 7th Edition has arrived, just in time for your post Halloween leftover candy binge!  This year’s release, affectionately titled “Promise of Hope,” is a ten-year-old rye-based single barrel bourbon clocking in at a respectable 96 proof.  Heaven Hill master distiller Parker Beam, who sadly was recently diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), hand picked barrels whose flavor profile suited his personal tastes.  For every bottle sold, Heaven Hill will contribute $20 to the Parker Beam Promise of Hope Fund, so drink up ya’ll, it’s for a good cause!
Promise of Hope is available at both locations for $120.99.  One bottle per person, club members may call in to reserve.  Supply is limited, so don’t sit on this one too long.
Happy drinkin’,
James
