Last year, a few tastes were available of the Purple Tibetan Ancient Grain Rye Whiskey created by Fremont Mischief Distillery, and those who tried it exclaimed about the quality. Now, the barrels have aged to their perfection, and the bottles are filled and available for purchase – for as long as they last!
Initially grown on Tibetan Steppes, the Purple Tibetan Karma Barley heirloom grain has not been genetically modified nor hybridized for centuries. In 2013, on a small farm plot in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, Hunton Farms cultivated the grain and the creative distillers at Fremont Mischief have crafted an exemplary Rye Whiskey from it.
With an assertive honey nose, fruit and lingering vanilla-flavor profile, the Purple Tibetan Ancient Grain Straight Rye Whiskey won awards at the World Spirits Competition. Now it is available for purchase, but only in the Fremont Mischief Tasting Room – come get a bottle before they are gone!
The Fremont Mischief Tasting Room is open Wednesday – Sunday, from 11a – 6p. However, it will be open later on Saturday, December 7th, as Fremont Mischief hosts the free, all-ages Fremont Music Festival. Featuring local musicians from School of Rock, A Shot In The Dark, the Seattle Video Game Orchestra, and Villain Plays The Victim, this is a great excuse to bring family and/or friends down to Fremont to shop, eat, explore and grab some select, artisanal spirits from Fremont Mischief.
