Leiper's Fork Wheated Bourbon
106.4 proof 3.5 years (turning 4 years in December) Bourbon Leiper's Fork Distillery Leipers Fork, TN 70% corn, 15% wheat, 15% malted barley
Nose

Nice and rich with developing floral notes

Palate

Thin and disjointed at this stage, burnt sugar, wheat forward but not fully integrated, beginning stages of character

Finish

Prominent alcohol burn, lacks the expected creaminess

Average
A promising wheated bourbon in its early maturation that clearly benefits from additional barrel time to achieve the balance and creaminess characteristic of its style.
