Detailed Description
This wheat whiskey is distilled by the Roughstock distillery in Montana. It is distilled from a mash bill of 100% wheat – A type of wheat with a much higher protein content compared to other types of wheat normally used by other major distilleries, called “Prairie Gold”. It is matured in barrels that previously held pure malt whisky and finished for a few months in heavily toasted French oak barrels. This very interesting combination of mash bill and wood creates a very unique and complex whisky—American craft whisky at its best!

Distillery Information
Roughstock Distillery was created by Bryan Schultz in 2008, the first distillery in Montana in over 100 years. One thing history tells us is that a great whiskey starts with two things: amazing grain and pure water. Luckily Roughstock has plenty of both right in Montana, rivaling the best of any place in the world. With beautiful grain grown throughout the state and the pure mountain snowmelt that fills the lakes, streams, rivers, and aquifers, it’s a no-brainer that Montana was meant for making whiskey.
