Wheel Horse Bourbon 101
This sour mash Bourbon Whiskey is made from 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% malted barley. It's distilled in copper stills then matured in 53-gallon, charred American oak barrels for a minimum of four years. Like all of the distillery's small batch whiskeys, Wheel Horse Bourbon is bottled at 101 proof and is non-chill filtered.
On the nose, the whiskey has aromas of butterscotch and toasted almond. Once sipped, the flavors of citrus and sweet toffee rise above notes of dark fruit. The finish is rich and lingers with hints of brandied cherry and bittersweet chocolate.
101 Proof - 50.5% ABV
