Leapers Fork Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Wheated Bourbon @ 00:03:26
110 proof 5 years 3 months Bourbon Leapers Fork Distillery 70% corn, 15% wheat, 15% barley

Rich honey and fig paste with notes of Hershey's kisses and warm leather. Sticky sweetness with a special spicy, Christmas-like profile characteristic of the distillery. No aggressive alcohol burn despite 110 proof.

Unexpected pepper spice from the barrel alongside dark honey, figs, and scorched molasses. Creamy texture with no drying or bitterness. Deep barrel character with viscous, oily mouthfeel typical of non-chill filtered bourbon.

Medium-to-long finish that sticks to the palate. Oily and creamy with no bitterness. Late chocolate note emerges with extended sipping.

Overall Score
4.6 / 5
An exceptional wheated bourbon with a unique spicy profile, rich dark honey and fig notes, and impressive depth that rivals premium aged offerings.
