{"product_id":"dry-hills-montana-straight-wheat-whiskey-single-barrel","title":"Dry Hills Montana Straight Wheat Whiskey Single Barrel","description":"Dry Hills Montana Straight Wheat Whiskey Single Barrel Select is a 100-proof straight wheat whiskey distilled from estate-grown grains and pure mountain water in Bozeman, Montana. This hand-selected single barrel expression showcases the unique character of wheat-forward mashing and American white oak aging, delivering a bold and distinctly Montana spirit aged 6 years and 5 months.\n\nFrom the shadow of the Bridger Mountains, Dry Hills Distillery crafts authentic American whiskey using grains grown on their own Montana estate. Their commitment to terroir-driven spirits shines through in this single barrel select, where pure Rocky Mountain snowmelt and high-altitude grain cultivation create a whiskey unlike anything from Kentucky or Tennessee. Each barrel tells the story of Big Sky Country—wide open spaces, clean mountain air, and the patient rhythm of seasons in the northern Rockies.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeyed wheat bread, vanilla cream, mountain wildflower honey, charred oak, dried hay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft wheat grain, caramelized sugar, toasted almonds, leather, winter spice, barrel char\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long finish with warm wheat, oak tannins, black pepper, lingering vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMontana Straight Wheat Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.0% (100 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e375ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 Years 5 Months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry Hills Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBozeman, Montana\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican White Oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e178\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEstate Grown Grains (Wheat Forward)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFireside Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wheat's natural sweetness pairs beautifully with a crackling fire and mountain views\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern Heritage Celebrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honor Montana's distilling tradition with this estate-grown expression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector's Cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel uniqueness makes this a prized addition to any whiskey library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Country Camping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pack this half-bottle for starlit evenings around the campfire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Dry Hills Montana Straight Wheat Whiskey taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wheat whiskey offers a softer, sweeter profile than traditional corn-based bourbons, with prominent notes of honeyed wheat bread, vanilla cream, and mountain wildflower honey. The 100-proof strength delivers warmth without harsh burn, while the 6+ year aging adds complexity through charred oak and leather undertones. The wheat-forward mash bill creates a distinctly smooth yet bold drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Dry Hills Wheat Whiskey good for cocktails or better neat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile excellent neat or with a splash of pure mountain water, this single barrel select truly shines when sipped straight to appreciate its unique Montana terroir. The wheat's natural sweetness and 100-proof strength make it exceptional for whiskey cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Boulevardiers, where the grain's character won't be overwhelmed by mixers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Montana wheat whiskey compare to Kentucky bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMontana straight wheat whiskey offers a distinctly different profile from corn-heavy Kentucky bourbons, with wheat's natural sweetness replacing corn's earthier notes. The high-altitude aging and pure mountain water create cleaner, brighter flavors, while the estate-grown grains provide terroir-driven character impossible to replicate in mass-production facilities. Expect softer entry with more floral and honey notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Dry Hills Distillery's single barrel special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach single barrel from Dry Hills represents a unique expression of Montana terroir, crafted from estate-grown grains and aged in hand-selected American white oak barrels. Barrel No. 178 was specifically chosen for its exceptional character, ensuring no two bottles will ever taste exactly the same. The combination of high-altitude aging, pure mountain water, and wheat-forward mashing creates unrepeatable complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this wheat whiskey worth the investment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors and wheat whiskey enthusiasts, this single barrel select offers exceptional value as a limited-production spirit showcasing Montana's emerging whiskey region. The 375ml format provides an accessible entry point to experience craft American wheat whiskey, while the single barrel designation ensures uniqueness. Estate-grown grain production and traditional aging methods justify the premium over mass-market alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dry Hills Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43384177557578,"sku":"DHMSWWSB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/6095\/7258\/files\/front_28e75193-7737-4a9d-8e23-86533ca164db.jpg?v=1772904485","url":"https:\/\/theoldrickhouse.com\/products\/dry-hills-montana-straight-wheat-whiskey-single-barrel","provider":"The Old Rickhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
