116.4 proof 7-8 years Wheat Whiskey Maker's Mark Loretto, KY $100 62% malted wheat, 27% wheat, 11% malted barley
Nose

Earthy cherry, dark fruits, figs, subtle heat. Sweet and decadent with an underlying earthiness from the high malted wheat content.

Palate

Initial fire that settles into a smooth, oily texture with grain notes. Vanilla, molasses, and baking spices with an earthy cherry character. Wheat whiskey sting on the back of the palate.

Finish

Long finish with lingering spice and subtle dryness. The wheat brings a characteristic bite that persists.

Enjoyable
A distinctive wheat whiskey with earthy complexity and smooth delivery that showcases the unique character of malted wheat in the mash bill.
