Deerslayer is a 200ML bottled at 99 proof, selling at $65 a bottle. Unfortunately, the pre-order online has sold out, however, a limited amount of the deer whiskey will be available at their retail location.
Deerslayer Distillation Process
After the whiskey ferments overnight, it is then slow-smoked over a mix of seasoned branches from New Hampshire’s forests. The 3 year old white wheat whiskey has a lighter bodied background, allowing for the true flavor to shine through after it’s final distillation. The savory and smoky notes result in a one of a kind spirit. Undoubtedly, there is a subtle spice and lingering finish.
