Kamut is the trade name of one of the world’s oldest wheat strains, Khorasan. This ancient grain remains in its purest form—organic and unchanged. Legend has it that a U.S. Airman acquired seeds in Cairo, reportedly stolen from an ancient Egyptian tomb. Khorasan wheat was believed to have been buried with the pharaohs. In 1964, the grain caught the eye of 16-year-old Bob Quinn, who later, with his father, planted 1.5 acres to be farmed traditionally. This ancient grain remains unchanged from its original form, offering a high yield with larger kernels than modern wheats and a rich, nutty flavor. Enjoy this special whiskey.
