Sawatch American Malt Whiskey, named for the 14’er filled Sawatch Mountain range that towers over Salida and stores the water that Wood's use to make their whiskey, represents the next evolution in Wood’s whiskey offerings. Sawatch is created from an special blend of malted grains including 2-row barley, cherrywood smoked barley malt, dark chocolate barley malt, malted rye, and malted wheat. Finally, aged 4-5 long years in 53-gallon new American oak barrels.
Rye spice, dark chocolate, malt, toffee, oak, vanilla, subtle smoke, tobacco, hard candy. A big bold, spicy, example of the New American Malt Whiskeys that sticks to the mouth with a beautifully long finish.
