Tasting Notes: FEW Spirits Italia Rye Whiskey is a limited-release collaborative whiskey created by Evanston-based FEW Spirits and Eataly. It features FEW’s 5 year Rye finished in 4 year old Pinot Noir wine casks.This whiskey offers an intriguing aromatic profile defined by a heavy herbal essence of mint and tea tree oil layered over sweet corn and crisp orchard fruit. On the palate, the influence of the wine casks emerges through nuances of bitter orange peel and a subtle red fruit roundness that balances the sharp cinnamon spice and toasted grain typical of the distillery style. The finish is notably smooth and lingering, leaving behind a savory trail of baking spices and a refined sweetness that distinguishes it from a traditional straight bourbon.
Estate History: FEW Spirits was founded by Paul Hletko in 2011 as the first distillery to operate in Evanston, Illinois, since the end of Prohibition. The brand name itself is a wry nod to Frances Elizabeth Willard, a key leader of the Temperance Movement who lived in the city.
