Wheel Horse Straight Bourbon Batch #1

A sweet Bourbon with a flavor profile well beyond its age.

Wheel Horse Whiskey is produced by Latitude Beverage Company at the O.Z. Tyler Distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky. The distillery is actually owned and operated by a contract producer named Terressentia. There have been a few other acquisitions and name changes along the way, but suffice it to say that the folks know what they are doing and their Whiskies have won a bunch of awards.

Wheel Horse Straight Bourbon Batch #1 is aged the traditional way: in 53 gallon barrels for a minimum of 2 years. For its youth, this dram is shockingly developed and traditional tasting. Crafted from 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, it’s bottled at 101 proof and there’s a creamy mouthfeel with sweet flavors of caramel, vanilla, oak, and rye spice.
