Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Wheated bourbons use wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain, a choice that tends to soften the edges. That is exactly what this Kentucky straight bourbon from Green River delivers. The mash bill pairs Kentucky-grown corn with wheat and malted barley. It matures in new charred oak and is bottled at 90 proof. Pour it and you get peach and caramel up front, with apricot and warm cinnamon behind them. The palate brings orange peel, toffee and flaky pastry over a honeyed mouthfeel, with a touch of hazelnut before a lingering, rich finish. It suits someone exploring wheated bourbon for the first time. It also suits the seasoned drinker who wants an easygoing everyday pour at a proof that still carries real flavor. We keep it on the shelf because it is approachable and versatile. It is generous enough to sip neat and steady over a large cube. It is also soft enough to let a Whiskey Sour or Boulevardier show off its sweetness.
Pairs well with
- Peach cobbler with cinnamon — The bourbon's peach, apricot and warm cinnamon notes echo the fruit filling, while its flaky pastry character matches the crust.
- Honey-glazed roast pork — The honeyed mouthfeel and orange peel brightness complement a sweet, citrus-tinged glaze.
- Easygoing weekend porch sipping — At 90 proof with a smooth, balanced finish, it is relaxed enough to sip slowly over a large ice cube as the afternoon winds down.
