Dry Fly Straight Wheat Whiskey Port Barrel Finish 6 Year

Bought this at the distillery shop in Spokane, WA in April 2021, $80. Black bottle limited production, small batch straight wheat whiskey, aged 6 years, finished in port barrels (Townshend Huckleberry Port from WA?), bottled at 45% ABV. Auburn liquid, a beauty to behold, and medium body. Apples, grapes, and sweet cereal on the nose. Oak and vanilla charge out, followed by caramelized sugar, cereal and fruit sweetness in the mouth. Soft and round, clinging mouthfeel. A little astringent mint tingle shows up in a long slow finish. This rounds and softens more with a touch of ice/water. This is what happens when Dry Fly lets their wheat whiskey age more than 3 years, and it's a beauty---pricey, but a mature beautiful port-finished whiskey. I hope they find a way to let more of their distillate age longer and keep the price down. Hopefully their *new* downtown Spokane distillery will help them do that.
