Low Gap 2 Year Wheat Whiskey

Detailed Description

This whiskey is distilled from 100% malted Bavarian hard wheat on a 16 hectoliter cognac still, which for the layman is a fairly small batch. Three types of barrels are used for aging: new American oak, used Van Winkle bourbon, and used Limousin barrels previously containing Germain-Robin brandy. (As the barrels used for aging are used, this isn’t technically a wheat whiskey in the US.) Brought down to 86.2 proof using rainwater.

Low Gap 2 Year Wheat Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The aroma reminded me of those bags of puffed wheat cereal I used to eat as a kid.

Palate: There’s a small dose of caramel candy and freshly cut herbs but only just. Cherry and apple appear on the palate followed by a dusting of crushed nuts.

Finish: The finish isn’t particularly long, but thoughts of salted crackers smeared with a berry jam came to mind. Sufficiently complex for a two year old whiskey.

Distillery Information

Germain-Robin, based in Ukiah, California, is a maker of brandy. The distillery was founded in 1982 by Ansley J. Coale, a local rancher, and Hubert Germain-Robin, a native of Cognac, France.
