The Block Distilling – Four Grain Straight Whiskey

This four grain whiskey is the first offering of its kind from The Block Distilling Co. It isn’t a bourbon, it isn’t a rye, it isn’t anything you have had before. It is an Oat heavy four grain straight whiskey. In order for a whiskey to be straight tit must age no less than 2 years in new American white oak. A Straight whiskey can have no flavoring, coloring or additives introduced to the whiskey on its long journey to the bottle. This means it is a pure whiskey and all of its character was come by naturally. This unusual grain bill is intriguing. Corn often takes a front seat in American whiskies. This grain bill instead makes the back-up singers the main feature. It is a creative gamble, and a risk to fly in the face of American whiskey convention.
