This is a special whiskey named for hard-core skiers who are up before dawn to snag powder lines while others sleep. This whiskey, which honors those intrepid skiers,, started out five years ago as an experiment with cherry-wood smoked malt barley. They wanted to see what would happen if Wood's made a whiskey with a significant percentage of cherry-wood smoked barley (in this case 45%) and the balance of two-row malted barley. They aged it for five years in #3 new American oak and with the magic of high-altitude Colorado.
