Producer's Notes: 

Unlike its rye-based counterparts, Polugar Wheat is made solely from wheat grain, both malted and non-malted, giving the spirit a texture that is plump and broad. A sweet richness sings through grassy fields and stone fruit.

Nose: Mild, round, light and delicate. Warm wheat crumbs, grain and bread notes. Hay, dry grass, salt, pickled cabbage and semisweet honey.

Palate: Clean and measured, but doesn’t hold back. Slightly salty-grassy nuances are dominated by kolach, a traditional Ukrainian bread. Wonderful velvetiness showing flowery, fruity notes. An elegant bitterness complements spice tones, followed by bright, persistent bread notes.

Finish: Mild grains, wheat and freshly cut white bread.

Spirit Journal, 5/5: “Crystalline appearance; silvery transparent; very minor sediment – inconsequential. Oh man, the assertive breakfast cereal (Wheaties) aroma is beany (Lima, soy), waxy (candle wax), and marvelously fragrant and animated in the starting point after the pour; secondary whiffs detect deft scents of apple, white grape, and yellow plum – this is an intriguing bouquet that I simply don’t want to end. Entry is clean, dry, deeply grainy and breakfast cereal-like, raisiny, acutely ripe; midpalate echoes the entry findings, adding a potent, apple-like acidity that maintains the freshness well and long into the satisfying finish that is dry yet is more bountiful than austere. Simply delicious.”  Highest Recommendation  F.Paul Pacult
