Roughstock Montana 2011 Black Label Whiskey USA 70 cl 61,5%

Cask strength from Montana's only distillery, unfiltered and undiluted.

Expert description

Roughstock Montana Black Label Whiskey USA is a more powerful, unfiltered version of the distillery's barley-based single malt whiskey, bottled at 61.5%. RoughStock Distillery opened in Bozeman, Montana, in 2009 and was both the first legal distillery in the state since Prohibition and the first to open in Montana in over 100 years, made possible by a 2005 change in state law. The distillery was founded by fourth-generation Montanans Bryan and Kari Schultz, who mortgaged everything they owned to realise the idea that 'Montana' and 'whiskey' belonged together. Unlike most American whiskeys, RoughStock uses local Montana barley instead of corn and rye.
