helluva straight wheat whiskey
Three founders created The Block, two brothers and one of the brother's wife. The brothers are Colorado School of Mines alumni. Helluva Straight Wheat Whiskey is a collaboration with Mines. $10 of every bottle sold goes directly to a fund used solely for creative arts projects on the engineering focused campus. The founders believe that many math smart, rational thinkers need a release through the abstract and open-ended. Different grains result in completely different flavors for the final whiskey they help create.

“We believe great whiskey is a mix of precision and creativity — just like the education we got at Mines.
Helluva Wheat is a way to celebrate both — and to help current students find the balance that was so important to us.”
