We taste hundreds of barrels to find the most exceptional and unique offerings for our Distiller’s Reserve releases. For this release, we specifically sought out wheated options due to their unusual profiles and often overlooked inventory. To be honest, much of what we tried did not meet our standards. We found several wheated whiskies that were unbalanced and even unpleasant. That is, until we found this barrel. Not only is this whiskey pleasant, it’s phenomenal. This 45% wheated bourbon has the perfect balance of wheat notes (grass, pepper, and green apple) with exceptional bourbon characteristics (warm honey, subtle vanilla, just enough earth). 

Bottled as a single barrel release, our Straight Wheated Bourbon quickly became a staff favorite. If we could afford it, we might have kept it for ourselves. This is one you won’t want to miss.
