About the product: Far North Spirits is pushing back on monoculture, growing unique, open pollinated rye grain varietals on our century-old family farm. These rye varietals are selected and farmed specifically for their flavor when distilled, a common sense approach that is virtually unheard of in the industry. Our flagship varietal, Mike originally seeded AC Hazlet for its agronomic properties. It wasn’t until the whiskeys came of age a few years later that its true character was revealed, with a characteristic vanilla note and less of the green and spice notes associate with rye.
