Leiper's Fork Wheated Bourbon
106.4 proof 3 years, 6 months Bourbon Leiper's Fork Distillery Franklin, TN 70% corn, 15% wheat, 15% malted barley
Nose

Really nice nose with pleasant character

Palate

Thin, disjointed, still getting alcohol burn as the biggest barrel note; beginning stages of creamy wheat character but lacks balance and complexity; burnt sugar notes present

Finish

Needs more time in barrel to develop fully

Average
A wheated bourbon at an early stage showing promise with nice aromatic foundation but requiring additional barrel maturation to achieve proper balance and the creamy complexity characteristic of the style.
