The Depot’s Aged Corn Whiskey

Description

Whiskey: The Depot’s Aged Corn

In the 100 year old beachwood aging rooms of The Depot Brewery and Distillery, you’ll find a small stash of AGED CORN WHISKEY. These small American Oak casks combine the flavors of Nevada raised corn with smooth vanilla notes and rustic edges. Small barrels mean more work here at the distillery, but this century old building reminds us of the longevity and pride that comes with hard work and craftsmanship.

Distillery: The Depot Craft Brewery & Distillery

As far as whiskey is concerned, Nevada-grown corn appears to be the distillery’s primary ingredient. Its primary whiskeys are a corn whiskey and a bourbon, which, co-owner Chris Shanks points out in a 2015 interview, is higher in corn than the required 51%, Most of this distillery’s whiskeys, it seems, are aged in small, 10-gallon oak barrels as opposed to the normal 53-gallon barrels.

The Depot’s Aged Corn Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose is light, sweet, and grainy with buttered popcorn, vanilla, and a hint of oak.

Palate: The taste is light and grainy at first.

Finish: A hint of oak on the finish.

Distillery Information

As the trend of microbreweries, craft distilleries, and reclaiming old buildings become ever more popular with no limits in sight, The Depot Craft Brewery & Distillery in Reno, Nevada, has doubled down and done all three. Opened on Dec. 31, 2014, after a year of renovation by the owners, this restaurant, brewery and distillery is housed in an old train depot – as the name implies – built in 1910 on the Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad. They pride themselves on using local grain and grinding and fermenting on site…. a practice known as “grain to glass” and giving the distillery quality control over all aspects of the process.
