DEATH’S DOOR WHISKY

Located in Middleton, Wisconsin, Death’s Door Spirits handcrafts vodka, gin, and whisky in small batches in copper pot stills. They believe that passion comes before profits, exceptional local ingredients deserve their unwavering attention to detail, and hard work always comes before celebration.

A pioneer in the whisky category, Death’s Door Whisky has an 80:20 mash bill of organic Washington Island Wheat to organic malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin. The spirit is then double-distilled up to 160 proof, rested in stainless steel and finished in uncharted American oak barrels to help bring the “white whisky” together and to meld this unique spirits’ flavors. The bouquet is one part “South of the Border”: artisan cachaca, tequila; and one part “Eastern”: sweet potato shochu/soju and earthy sake. Yet, the palate is unmistakably whisky: a smooth double-distilled varietal with vanilla, chocolate covered raisin, and dark cherry flavors.
