The Spirit Works Straight Wheat Whiskey is made from 100% Red Winter Wheat, resulting in a spirit, according to official tasting notes, that has “a rich, caramelized-sugar palate rounded out with delicate notes of sweet tea and toasted walnut, finishing with graham crackers and subtle smoke.”
The Spirit Works Straight Rye Whiskey, meanwhile, is described as a high rye affair which offers in its taste make up “notes of bright baked apple, coffee and sweet golden honeycomb with a warm spice finish.”

“We’re absolutely thrilled to launch our first whiskies. Although our primary focus at Spirit Works Distillery is gin, we have been patiently planning to release straight whiskies since the beginning,” said Timo Marshall, Spirit Works co-founder with his wife, head distiller, Ashby Marshall, in a statement. “Both our Straight Wheat and our Straight Rye far exceed our expectations and are so much more complex than we could have hoped for. It’s an amazing experience to own a craft distillery and pour a sample of straight whiskey that your wife distilled.”
Both of these new whiskies from the all-female distilling team are at 90 proof and price for around $65 each.
