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

  Item no.: 22227865386-8869

  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.

  Roughstock Montana Spring Wheat Whiskey 45%

  Item no.: 22227865386-8868

  Out on the wheat flats of southern Montana, with the Bridger Mountains standing guard behind the fields, grows a grain few distillers would think to reach for. Roughstock turned it into whiskey anyway – and the result is as unpretentious as the prairie it comes from.

  The Expert's Description

  Roughstock Montana Spring Wheat Whiskey is an American Wheat Whiskey made from 100% wheat, finished in heavily toasted French oak casks and bottled at 45%.

  Roughstock was Montana's first legal distillery in over a hundred years, opening after the state overhauled its old Prohibition-era liquor laws in 2005 to allow small craft distilleries. For this whiskey they use hard white spring wheat from Wheat Montana Farms, a variety known as "Prairie Gold" that's normally grown for bread rather than distilling – it carries a higher protein content than the wheat varieties distilleries usually choose. The mash ferments in open-top vats made of old-growth Oregon fir, then goes through double distillation in traditional copper pot stills.

  Only the clean heart of the distillate makes it into used Pure Malt casks for maturation, letting the wheat's character come through without being buried in oak. The whiskey then spends a few months finishing in heavily toasted French oak, which layers in extra body and spice on top of the wheat's gentle sweetness.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Soft vanilla, honeycomb and a touch of butter, with fresh grain notes reminiscent of warm bread.

  Palate

  A light wheat sweetness meets butterscotch and honey, while the toasted French oak brings a spiced undercurrent.

  Finish

  Medium in length and soft, closing on a last hint of sweet spice from the oak.

  Did You Know?

  The wheat behind this whiskey, "Prairie Gold", is actually a bread wheat with a high protein content – not the type of grain distilleries usually go for, but at Roughstock it's become the bottle's whole calling card.

  Roughstock Montana Straight Bourbon Whiskey 45%

  Item no.: 22227865386-8866

  At the foot of the Bridger Mountains in southwestern Montana, there used to be a distillery that insisted on doing things the hard way – no sourced spirit, no shortcuts, just local grain and cold mountain water. The place is gone now, but the bottles remain.

  The Expert's Description

  RoughStock Montana Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an American Straight Bourbon Whiskey blended from four different bourbon recipes and bottled at 45%.

  RoughStock Distillery opened in 2008 in Bozeman as Montana's first legal distillery since the end of Prohibition – and the first ever to make Straight Bourbon Whiskey in the state. Behind it stood husband-and-wife team Bryan and Kari Schultz, who built their bourbon from four separate recipes with varying amounts of corn, wheat, rye and malted barley. Each recipe is distilled twice in copper pot stills and matured for at least two years in heavily charred virgin oak before distiller Bryan Schultz marries the four whiskeys into the final bourbon. The distillery closed in 2016, so every bottle still circulating today is a piece of finished Montana history.

  The water comes from the many mountain streams formed as snow melts in the Bridger range, and that same raw, unpolished approach runs through the whole process – nothing bought in, everything mashed, distilled and matured on site.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Barley and dried hay meet toasted grain notes, vanilla and nuts, with a hint of orange peel and fresh bread in the background.

  Palate

  Tobacco and leather are balanced by dark chocolate, ripe plums and caramel, while a warm honeyed sweetness ties it together.

  Finish

  Long and warming, with ginger and clove that linger well after the last sip.

  Did You Know?

  The name RoughStock comes from the world of rodeo, where it describes disciplines like bareback and bull riding – no saddle, just legs and nerve. That's also why the distillery's unofficial mascot has always been a cowboy.
