wheated bourbon
Nose
Light and sweet with classic bourbon aromas of vanilla and caramel. Very light oak. Zero ethanol burn. Slightly floral and difficult to grasp distinct notes.
Palate
Vanilla and caramel with hints of honey and fruit. Soft and sweet with the wheated character shining through. Texture is a bit thin but pleasant.
Finish
Heat shows up more on the finish with warm, oaky character. Still sweet on the back end.
Overall Score
3.4 / 5
A classic entry-level wheated bourbon that offers soft, sweet, honey-forward character with a comforting oaky finish and serves well as a reset whiskey to recalibrate expectations.
