4 Years
Wheated Straight Bourbon
Dueling Grounds Distillery
$72-$73
66% corn, 22% red winter wheat, 11% malted barley
Nose
Very spicy nose with dark licorice, baked apple, spiced apple, and cinnamon notes. Jim notes it's "almost spice droppy" with dark floor notes and a hint of rose.
Palate
Soft upfront on the tongue but digs in as it works back. Described as buttery, creamy, spicy cake with cinnamon spice and candied jalapeño. Intense first impression at 120 proof with a punch building toward the back.
Finish
Long finish that coats the mouth with a nice, rich buttery quality. Growing hug that continues to build and develop.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A four-year-old wheated barrel-proof bourbon from a small craft distillery that impresses with buttery cinnamon spice and candied jalapeño complexity.
