53% corn, 39% wheat, 8% malted barley
Nose
Bright lemon-bar and citrus-floral aromas; soft yet bright simultaneously; lighter in character overall.
Palate
Viscous mouthfeel; very well-balanced with grain character shining through distinctly for a six-year; gentle peppery spice on the tail; not as soft as expected from high wheat content.
Finish
Medium length, leaning slightly dry on the back end.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted, grain-forward wheated bourbon that balances delicate florals with enough structure and spice to maintain interest, representing solid value in the specialty release market.
