Pleasant sweetness on the nose with promising flavors of caramel, toffee, and hazelnut. Follows through on the palate with a full rich, malty note. The finish is smooth, with a lift of ABV giving you a lingering note of malt again.

About the Distillery

Located in Florence, Missouri, a small town fifty miles from the Ozarks, Wood Hat Distillery is owned by distiller Gary Hinegardner. With an impressive resume that includes 20+ years as an agronomist and another 15+ years working for a cooper, Gary has a unique view on bourbon and whiskey production. He is well suited to showcase the best of Missouri whiskey's offerings.

All of Gary's products are made from locally grown Missouri grains and use open-pollinated heritage corn that are selected for taste rather than yield. Wood Hat whiskies are an actual Field to Glass experience; their spirits are fermented, distilled, and aged onsite using an exceedingly rare wood-fired still, fed with leftover wood from a neighboring cooperage. Committed to keeping production as green and local as possible, the distillery is carbon-neutral and produces little waste; ash from the wood is still used to fertilize the corn fields, and leftover spent mash is fed to livestock.

Wood Hat Distillery is certified by the American Distilling Institute as a true craft distillery. It has won numerous awards, proving that its products are bold, unique, and cutting-edge in the whiskey world.
