White Pike's color is pearly-clear. The spirit is distilled in a German copper pot-still from New York corn (59%), spelt (28%) and malted barley (13%). It is said to be barrel aged for "18 minutes." It is bottled at 40% ABV. Sold in both 375ml and 750ml sized bottles primarily in the New York area.

    Distilled from a cereal mash bill comprised of any grain(s). Generally unaged except in the US, where it must age at least briefly in oak for an unspecified amount of time. Sometimes sold as "moonshine" although that is a misnomer.

Tasting Notes

"Despite its low mash bill percentage, malty wheat comes across first on a relatively hot nose that additionally suggests Japanese sake. There's less heat on the palate where corn dominates in accord with its percentage. White Pike might appeal to white lightning aficionados as a sipper, but its highest use is likely as a mixer with citrus and tomato."
