Corsair Oatrage

The usage of oats in whiskey production is extremely rare, and for good reason: it has a low yield and is thicker, making it more difficult to work with compared to other grains. Still, that has not kept the distillers at Corsair from experimenting with it. The Corsair Oatrage continues the distillery’s penchant for pun-themed names that highlight the grain (at least until their recent rebranding efforts). This single pot still whiskey is made from 51% malted oats, 27% 6-row malted barley, and 22% coffee malted barley. Coffee malt is a 2-row malt that has been moderately roasted, imparting an aroma and taste of coffee, and is often used in dark beers in the same way chocolate malts are.
