Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey

Dead Guy Whiskey is made using the same four grains that have been used to make the widely-acclaimed Dead Guy Ale since 1991 — Northwest Harrington, Maier Munich, Klages, and Carastan malts. After the malts are combined with free range coastal water at Rogue Brewery, distiller's yeast is added in order to catalyze fermentation, which lasts for approximately seven days. The entire wash is then hauled across a parking lot to Rogue Spirits, where it is twice distilled through copper-pot stills. After distillation, the whiskey is aged in new, charred American oak barrels for approximately 3 months before being bottled and labeled by hand.

Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey earned the Gold Medal at the 2011 International Review of Spirits Competition and the 2010 World Beverage Competition.
