The Secret Is Spelt
Founded in 2010, Watershed Distillery’s meticulous production methods, commitment to local ingredients, and innovations with grain have resulted in an impressive range of spirits.
Watershed has developed an incredibly devoted statewide following, but that means its whiskies rarely make it outside of Ohio… especially when they’re at cask strength. But that’s what we’re here for. This cask strength single cask selection makes it clear exactly why Watershed has become one of the most sought-after and beloved distilleries in the Midwest.
Aged for 5 years in a 53-gallon new American oak barrel, this straight bourbon whiskey has a unique five-grain mashbill that includes corn, rye, spelt, malted barley, and wheat.
We chose this cask because its rich sweetness, perfectly balanced by oak spice and an orangey zing, evokes the flavors of our favorite breakfast pastries.
