Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a wheated straight bourbon with real backbone: a corn-dominant mash bill built with wheat alongside the corn, aged in new charred oak and bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV). The whiskey is sourced from the historic Seagram's distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and batched in Bardstown, Kentucky. Wheaters are often thought of as soft and easygoing, and the silky texture is here, but so is a surprising amount of intensity. The nose brings candied ginger, sage and lavender over fresh pear, vanilla and cedar. The palate turns to roasted coffee, smoked meat and hazelnut with cardamom and black pepper, and the finish recalls toasted bread crust with a touch of malty sweetness. It suits the drinker who already likes wheated bourbon and wants something more aromatic and assertive, and it works as well stirred into an Old Fashioned as it does neat. We carry it because it gives a familiar style an unusually herbal, layered personality at a proof that holds up in the glass or in a cocktail.
Pairs well with
- Barbecue ribs or smoked brisket — The smoked-meat and roasted coffee notes on the palate echo the bark and char of slow-smoked barbecue.
- Hazelnut and coffee desserts — Its hazelnut richness and roasted coffee bean flavors line up neatly with a mocha torte or praline pastry.
- Old Fashioned cocktail hour — The candied ginger, cardamom and black pepper give an Old Fashioned a spicy, aromatic lift that a touch of sweetness rounds out.
