Wheat Barley! Bourbon Whiskey bottled by Southern Specialty Spirits

Wheat Barley! Bourbon Whiskey bottled by Southern Specialty Spirits

Regular price $119.99 Sale

Proof: 95 proof

Mash bill: C78/R13/W0/MB09

Tasting Notes: 

Visual: Amber, medium viscosity, legs,

Nose: Orange, caramel, vanilla. Very nice amount of oak for a 10 year. The nose is refined, nothing outside of what one should expect from 10 year Kentucky bourbon.

Palate: Little more of the orange from the nose, like candy orange slices. Despite the candy notes, it’s got a tartness to it, probably from the oak tannin present in this aged whiskey combined with the malted barley.

Finish: Very nice oak and some barrel char from those 10 years of age. The orange slice is gone, but the candy continues with a final transition to those strawberry hard candies that every grandmother had in her purse. And it lingers. This is a unique pour given the mash bill and age, but the notes that are present are good. It’s got many of the refined qualities of an older whiskey with good viscosity, color, nose, and oak. But this candied orange note brings in a pop of brightness to surprise you. 

About the product: Kappa Alpha Order was founded in 1865 at Washington College, now Washington & Lee University. At the time of this bottling in 2025, with more than 185,000 initiated members, 8,350 undergraduate members, and 119 chapters, our brothers have achieved a record breaking 3.115 GPA. With the largest total membership in history, our brothers need increased leadership and values-based education, academic and career advising. Your support of KA and the KAOEF by purchasing a bottle of “Wheat Barley! Bourbon Whiskey” contributes to these needs. Grab a bottle, gather your brothers, and yell a loud, “Wheat Barley!” to the Order and celebrate our continued success.
