Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon built on locally grown Kentucky winter wheat and aged over four years in #3 charred American oak barrels. It leans into what that style does well: a soft, rounded sweetness with real depth behind it. The nose brings sandalwood, ripe cherries, brown sugar and chai spice with a curl of pipe tobacco. The palate turns silky with toasted coconut, dark chocolate and grilled peach over baking spice, and the finish carries cherry, allspice and a whisper of black pepper. It suits a drinker who wants a gentle introduction to wheated bourbon as much as an enthusiast building out a shelf of the style. It also holds up neat, over a cube, or in a maple Old Fashioned. We carry it because it is balanced and genuinely fall-forward, and because it honors Mary Dowling, an overlooked pioneer of bourbon history whose story deserves a place on more back bars.
Pairs well with
- Roasted spiced nuts — The bourbon's warm, toasty flavors and baking spice echo the roasted, spiced crunch of the nuts.
- Dark chocolate desserts — The dark chocolate and cherry notes on the palate and finish line up naturally with a rich chocolate dessert.
- Cozy cool-weather evening — Its fall-forward profile of brown sugar, chai spice and pipe tobacco is made for sipping slowly as the temperature drops.
Questions about this bottle
What is this bourbon made from?

It uses a wheated mash bill crafted from locally grown Kentucky winter wheat. Wheat is the secondary grain in place of the more common rye. That choice typically yields a softer, sweeter bourbon, which fits the rich, rounded profile described in the tasting notes.
How long is it aged, and in what barrels?

Is it better neat or in a cocktail?
Is it better neat or in a cocktail?
It works both ways. Neat shows its full complexity, and a light chill on the rocks brings out softer caramel and roasted nut notes. For a cocktail, try a Maple Old Fashioned with a touch of maple syrup, a dash of bitters and an orange peel twist.
