Three Floyd's Distillery Well of Whispers Single Malt Whiskey Review.    

    Three Floyds has long been a staple in the craft beer world, but in recent years they’ve been turning heads with their distilling program. Based in Indiana, they’ve been releasing some unique whiskeys, often playing with high malt bills and even incorporating grains tied to their brewing heritage. Their newest release for 2025, the Well of Whispers American Single Malt, is bottled in bond at 100 proof and made entirely with malted barley grown in Lebanon, Indiana. That transparency and local sourcing is exactly what I love seeing from craft producers, and I was eager to see how Three Floyds would handle a straight-ahead American single malt.

    The Well of Whispers is crafted from 100% Indiana-grown malted barley, distilled and aged entirely in-house by Three Floyds. As a bottled in bond whiskey, it carries the guarantee of being at least four years old, distilled in a single season, and bottled at 100 proof, and under one master distiller. The choice to keep things straightforward, no fancy finishing, no outside sourcing, shows confidence in their base spirit.

Age Statement: 4 years (As per the TTB requirement for Bottle in Bond).

ABV: 50%.

Mash bill: 100% malted barley.

Area of Distillation: Munster, Indiana.

Appearance: deep golden-brown.


On the nose:
    The nose is classic malt-forward with earthy sweetness and a touch of waxiness. Vanilla comes through, but more in the darker, vanilla bean sense than bright vanilla cream. Layers of chocolate toffee bar and Heath bar richness develop, rounded out by soft char from the oak. A hint of white pepper and faint heat remind you this is a bottled in bond craft release.


Taste:
    The whiskey drinks with a gentle sweetness and balance. Barley leads the way, earthy and waxy, followed by a wave of milk chocolate, toffee, and caramel. White pepper adds a nice counterpoint, while a soft green apple sweetness sneaks in on later sips. The texture is where this shines—clingy, warming, and pleasantly mouth-coating for its age.


Finish:
    Medium in length, the finish carries chocolate, toffee, and a little coffee bitterness without ever leaning too sweet or too dry. That waxy texture lingers, making each sip feel a bit more complex than you might expect from a four-year-old malt.


Final Thoughts: 
    Three Floyds’ Well of Whispers delivers a lot for a young American single malt. The texture in particular elevates it beyond what I’d expect. It’s approachable, balanced, and a great introduction for bourbon drinkers who want to branch into malt without being overwhelmed. With time, I think this whiskey will only get better, if Three Floyds can push it to six or seven years, it could become a real standout in the category. As it is, it’s a fun, honest, and well-executed craft release worth trying if you can track down a bottle.


Rating: B- (Fairly good).

Cost: $59.99 for 750ml.

Dovetail Distillery Cut Throat Oat Whiskey Review.      I received this spirit as a review sample from Dovetail Distillery, linked here . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.           Dovetail Distillery, currently the smallest craft distillery based in Nevada. Currently the distillery is doing quite a bit with unique grains and one of those grains is Oats. Oats can be a fun grain your craft distilleries can play around with and add a unique profile to their spirits. Their Cutthroat Oat Whiskey is no exception, bringing three unique grains to the mix. After being double distilled it is aged for two years in custom char/toast American white oak 15-gallon barrels. This barrel size can be tricky, it does take a keen eye and palate to make sure this size of barrel doesn't take over.       Given my fascination with oat-based spirits, I was eager to dive into this bottle and see how Dovetai...

Old 55 Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Sweet Corn Bourbon Whiskey Review.           Old 55 Distillery is a small craft operation tucked away in Newtown, Indiana, just south of Lafayette, and they’ve built a name for themselves by doing something very few dare to try, making bourbon with 100% sweet corn. I’ve crossed paths with a few of their spirits before and have always respected the level of care they bring to the table: all distilling, aging, and bottling is done in-house, with a heavy emphasis on local grains. Their Bottled-in-Bond Sweet Corn Bourbon is the bottle most people around here know, but this release, a single barrel, cask strength version, was something I’d only ever seen at the Market District in Carmel, Indiana.       Sweet corn isn’t just a novelty for Old 55, it’s an expensive, labor-intensive choice. A bushel of the common yellow dent corn runs about $4 (2020 prices), but the sweet corn they use costs over $1,...

   Abduction Whiskey Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review.      I received this spirit as a review sample from Abduction Whiskey, linked here . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.     Abduction Whiskey is based out of Pacifica California. Where the bottling itself is only about six months old, but the amount of passion behind the brand stems much longer.  Ryan Murray, a chiller mechanic, he took a leap of faith to turn his love for whiskey into something tangible, a move that resonates with many dreamers in the whiskey world. With an alien-themed aesthetic that ties into the idea of “abducting” barrels to create something uniquely their own. The bourbon is sourced from MGP and blended in-house to develop a their profile. While many bottlings opt for a three-grain combination, going with four should bring an extra layer of complexity that can enhance both texture and flavor.  For the full video review visit th...
