8 Years | 116.43 Proof | Barrel #400 | White Wheat Mashbill (72% Corn | 17% Wheat | 11% Malted Barley)

Color:
A deep polished mahogany with glowing copper highlights. Dense, oily legs gather quickly and descend at a leisurely pace, hinting at excellent viscosity and mature barrel influence long before the first sip.

Nose:
An inviting combination of old-fashioned root beer and creamy vanilla soda rises immediately from the glass, followed by elegant, well-integrated barrel char. Dark dried stone fruits, rich figs, and a drizzle of orange blossom honey add depth and sophistication, creating a profile that is both sweet and mature without becoming overly confectionary.

Palate:
This is a bold interpretation of wheated bourbon—not one of your soft, honey-sweet wheats. Orange marmalade spreads across the tongue before giving way to a gentle pepper spice that keeps the sweetness in check. Subtle notes of cola and a faint effervescent quality provide lift, while the whiskey coats the entire palate with a rich, silky body. It’s not exceptionally thick, but it carries enough weight and texture to feel luxurious from front to back.

Finish:
Medium in length with the pepper spice lingering just beyond the sweeter flavors. Toasted oak and gentle cola fade gradually, leaving a warm, satisfying conclusion that effortlessly invites another sip.

Overall:
A beautifully structured white wheated bourbon that refuses to fit the typical “soft wheater” stereotype. Instead, it leans confidently into bold barrel character while preserving the elegance and sweetness the wheat provides. The oily appearance in the glass, slow-moving legs, and layered complexity all point to a whiskey that drinks every bit as mature as its eight years suggest. It balances sweetness, spice, and oak exceptionally well, making it a memorable pour that rewards slow sipping.
