A rare 50-bottle release that levels-up their signature Bourbon.
At Wyoming Whiskey they are proud of their state and their spirits. the distillery was founded in 2009 by Kate and Brad Mead and their friend David DeFazio. But they had the help of an experienced guiding hand — Steve Nally, former master distiller at Makers Mark. The first commercial Whiskey was released as a four year old in 2012, but they state that all current Whiskies are a minimum of five years old. Importantly, they state loud and clear that none of their spirits are sourced. Every drop is distilled and aged on site at their facility in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming, all the grains are farmed within one hundred miles, and the water comes forma local well sunk into an ancient limestone aquifer. And you’ve just got to respect that.
This Whiskey is darn hard to get. Seriously. December 2018 was only second release of Wyoming Whiskey Barrel Strength, and it was only fifty bottles. You read that right… only fifty bottles for the entire world. This must set a new bar for “limited release”. This time Sam Mead walked into the rickhouse with industry specialist Nancy Fraley to choose a barrel. Out they come with their personal favorite — this time it’s barrel #3242 — and they just pour it into bottles at 124.7 proof (62.4% ABV). They get as many as they get and none more. What follows is the official description. And if you can get your hands on a bottle, let us know… we’ll be right over to give you a hand.
