Bigfork Distillery Releases New Whiskey

By Beacon Staff

Whistling Andy Distillery in Bigfork is releasing a new whiskey on St. Patrick’s Day.

The Whistling Andy Distillery opened its doors on New Year’s Eve 2010 and has since been creating a wide variety of spirits at its location along MT Highway 35, just south of the Swan River. Spiced Rum, Gin and Vodka have all become regular offerings from the distillery and they will now be joined by a barrel-aged, one-year whiskey called Harvest Select.

According to the distillery, Harvest Select Whiskey is made with grain from Lake Seed in Ronan for an American-style spirit consisting of barley, wheat, corn and rye, aged in white oak barrels from Tennessee. According to a press release, the whiskey “has a sweet, fruity nose leading into warm spiciness mid-palate and finishes smooth with accents of toasted caramel and well-rounded oak flavors.”

Whistling Andy Distillery will be releasing one barrel of the whiskey on Saturday, March 17 and there will be limit of two bottles per person. After that, the whiskey will be available at state liquor stores in the Flathead Valley, Missoula and Bozeman.
