Spirit Hound Honey Aged Straight Malt Whisky is a unique and innovative offering from Spirit Hound Distillers, crafted with exceptional care in Lyons, Colorado. This distinctive whisky begins with Spirit Hound's renowned Straight Malt Whisky, made from 100% Colorado malted barley and distilled in hand-built copper pot stills to ensure precision and richness of flavor.
What sets this whisky apart is its aging process, where the spirit is matured in American oak barrels that have been previously used to store Colorado wildflower honey. The result is a smooth, complex whisky with a subtle sweetness and delicate floral notes imparted by the honey.
On the nose, it presents aromas of caramel, toasted oak, and a gentle hint of honeycomb. The palate is rich and well-rounded, offering layers of malted grain, vanilla, and warm spices, balanced beautifully with the soft sweetness of honey and a touch of floral elegance. Read more
The finish is long and smooth, leaving a lingering warmth with subtle notes of honey and oak. This whisky is perfect for sipping neat or over a single cube of ice to appreciate its full depth of flavor. It also makes a unique and premium base for whisky-forward cocktails.
