Proof: 111.79 proof

Mash bill: 70/21/9 Corn/Wheat/Malted barley

Tasting Notes: The nose is richly aromatic, opening with nougat, ripe plum, orange zest, and a subtle chocolate-covered cherry note. A soft honeyed sweetness develops with time, alongside dark berries and a wave of seasoned oak that gives the aroma a bit more depth.

The palate leads with a musty oak character and a slight medicinal note that quickly settles into a round, honeyed profile. Layers of mixed berries build through mid palate, supported by gentle baking spice and a rich French vanilla sweetness that feels balanced rather than overtly decadent.

The finish is long and notably juicy, carrying berry notes alongside a damp oak quality and steady spice. Spiced apple and candied cashews emerge late, while lingering oak and honeyed sweetness continue through the final moments of the sip.

About: Distilled in Kentucky and matured just north of downtown Memphis where the Mississippi and Wolf Rivers meet, this limited-release wheated bourbon showcases a mashbill of 70% corn, 21% wheat, and 9% barley. The intense Memphis summers and cooler evenings drive the whiskey deep into the oak, building a profile that is both rich and remarkably approachable. Soft winter wheat takes center stage, unfolding layers of ripe peach, apricot, and dark caramel accented by gentle cinnamon spice. The palate leans into sticky toffee, pastry-like sweetness, and rustic grain notes, while hints of hazelnut and honey carry through a warm, lingering finish. Crafted from carefully selected barrels chosen to balance creamy sweetness, evolving spice, and oak influence, the result is a layered and expressive bourbon that highlights the softer, rounder character that has long made wheated whiskey a favorite among enthusiasts.
