Leiper's Fork Wheated Bourbon
106.4 proof
3 years 6 months
Bourbon
Leiper's Fork Distillery
70% corn, 15% wheat, 15% malted barley
Nose
Really nice nose with developing complexity.
Palate
Thin and disjointed. Burnt sugar present. Wheat character evident but not yet fully integrated. Beginning stages of developing wheat creaminess. Still youthful with prominent alcohol notes.
Finish
Herbal notes beginning to round off.
Overall Score
3.2 / 5
A promising wheated bourbon that needs additional barrel age to develop the signature creaminess and balance the alcohol heat, though the foundational quality is evident.
