Dry Fly Distilling won a silver medal at the 2015 Whiskies of the World awards for its Washington Wheat Whiskey.

The awards are produced by the International Wine & Spirits Competition Group and determined by blind judging using a 100-point scale to rate appearance, aromatics, flavor, mouthfeel and finish.

Spokane’s Dry Fly is a small-batch distiller of vodka, gin and whiskies that’s owned and operated by Don Poffenroth and Kent Fleischmann.
