Wheated Bourbon, Cask Strength

• Cask strength wheated straight bourbon whiskey produced by Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky
• Mash bill of 73% white corn, 17% malted barley, and 10% white winter wheat
• Distilled in a Vendome copper column still
• Aged 7 years
• Blend of 109 barrels
• Orange zest, brûléed peach, pound cake, and baked nutmeg on the nose transition to a palate of pastry dough, red apple, black peppercorn, mango, and roasted walnut with oatmeal cinnamon cookie, dried cherry, and chai on the finish
• Non-chill filtered; bottled at a cask strength of 52.9% ABV

At seven years old, this is a momentous release for Castle & Key, made using white winter wheat—a sweeter variety without the tannins found in red winter wheat—and bottled at cask strength to best display the boldest qualities of the grain.
