Lone Elm Small Batch Texas Straight Wheat Whiskey
90 proof 4 years Wheat Whiskey Five Points Distilling Forney, TX 90% wheat, 10% malted barley

Savory with oak and black licorice prominent. Notes of black cherry, vanilla from small barrel aging, and a hint of beef jerky character. Some pecan notes reminiscent of central Texas pecans. Oak is very prevalent.

Even presentation across front, middle, and back. Licorice is the predominant note with a numbing effect on the tongue. Lacks the sweetness typically expected from 90% wheat. Cocoa powder and bitterness on the back end contribute to a dry finish. Warming cinnamon fire persists.

Long finish for a four-year wheat whiskey. Lingering licorice and tongue tingling from the sour mash character. Warm and cinnamon-forward without aggressive Kentucky hug or deep burning in the chest.

Pleasant
A uniquely savory wheat whiskey with prominent licorice and oak character that pairs well with barbecue and presents itself evenly across the palate despite its unconventional profile for the category.
