Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a ten-year-old wheated Kentucky bourbon bottled at 107 proof, close to barrel strength, with just a small addition of Kentucky limestone water after a decade in charred oak. Wheat in place of rye in the mash bill, alongside corn and malted barley, gives it a softer, rounder character, and the tasting notes bear that out: vanilla and buttery caramel fudge on the nose, roasted pecans and brown spice, then a smooth, mellow palate of wheat, cherry, and oak with dried fruit layered underneath. The finish runs long, with cherry tobacco, toffee, and peppery spice. It suits the enthusiast who wants to understand what a mature wheater tastes like at real strength, and the collector who wants a Van Winkle bottle that is meant to be opened and poured. We carry it because it shows how proof and age can coexist with a gentle profile, and because it rewards slow sipping as much as a careful Old Fashioned.

Pairs well with

Warm pecan pie — The roasted pecan, caramel, and toffee notes in the bourbon echo the pie's nutty, buttery filling.
Charcuterie with aged cheeses — Aged cheeses and roasted nuts complement the bourbon's nutty depth and its cherry and dried fruit notes.
Quiet evening with friends — The long finish of cherry tobacco and peppery spice invites slow sipping and unhurried conversation.
