Dry Fly’s description of its Cask Wheat Whiskey that it “drinks much softer than its 120 proof” is most definitely true. It’s easy and delightful and unexpected. It has an elegance and also a coziness, and it offers something different from standard bourbon or rye. Compared to other cask strength whiskey, such as Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon, Dry Fly is much less sharp and much softer. Given its relative youth, I’d be curious to know how Dry Fly Cask Wheat Whiskey would develop with a few more years in the barrel.
