Asheville Distilling Co. Blonde Whiskey

Blonde starts with rare heirloom Turkey Red Wheat and White Corn, grown on Peaceful Valley Farm in the lowland hills of Western North Carolina. That same strain of corn has been grown continuously at Peaceful Valley since the mid 1800’s, tended by generations of the McEntire Family. And in the 1800’s our wheat first arrived, brought by Mennonites eager to start new lives in a new land, but unwilling to let go of the memory and the taste of home. Modern hybrids have bigger yields and are more resistant to weather and pests, but the older grains have a flavor and softness the newer versions can’t match.

Asheville Distilling Co. Blonde Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: True to its tagline (“a kinder spirit”), the Blonde has a gentle aroma, one that you might have to go searching for. This is not a fully immersive experience; the whiff-and-you-missed it quality leaves most of the work up to your taste buds.

Palate: Built for savoring, the experience is akin to letting one of your grandmother’s caramel candies melt in your mouth. Incredibly smooth, with leading notes of vanilla, this recipe skips most of the familiar burn—although by no means eliminates it.

Finish: Long and rich.
