Processing: Hammer milled and mashed on site.
Fermentation: Open top fermented with house selected yeast for 4-5 days.
Still: Fritz; 500G Hybrid Pot Still by Vendome Copperworks.
Distillation: Double distilled to 150 proof.
Maturation: Aged for 31⁄2 years in new 23G oak barrels from Black Swan in Park Rapids, MN. Barrel entry proof: 118.
Filtration: Lightly filtered to remove barrel sediment. Non-chillfiltered.
Availability: Special Release, Extremely Limited
Tasting Notes: Hazlet has a rich vanilla note, with less of the pepper and spice notes commonly found in rye whiskey. That characteristic vanilla is backed up by almondy nuttiness and dried fruit notes.
About the product: Far North Spirits is pushing back on monoculture, growing unique, open pollinated rye grain varietals on our century-old family farm. These rye varietals are selected and farmed specifically for their flavor when distilled, a common sense approach that is virtually unheard of in the industry. Our flagship varietal, Mike originally seeded AC Hazlet for its agronomic properties. It wasn’t until the whiskeys came of age a few years later that its true character was revealed, with a characteristic vanilla note and less of the green and spice notes associate with rye.
