Whiskey Review: Spirit Works Straight Wheat Whiskey

s of warm honey, a soft wheat flavor profile with notes of almost over-toasted pretzels. It’s certainly a wheat whiskey, with none of those spice or sweet notes one might find in a bourbon due to the addition of rye and corn. It calls out to a lighter-style single malt such as Suntory Toki from Japan or Amrut from India without hitting overly-complicated notes of smoke or too much heat. At some level, it feels like a really good introduction to single-malts for those who aren’t familiar with the category and want some training wheels. But this isn’t “lady whiskey;” it’s a fun bottle for collectors and those who like to have a one-off on their bar to talk up because woman are making waves in distilling and this is one of those distilleries.
