Wheated Bourbon 2023 'Small Batch' (Batch 1)

• Wheated straight bourbon whiskey produced by Castle and Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky
• Mash bill of 73% white corn, 17% malted barley, and 10% wheat
• Distilled in a Vendome copper column still
• Aged 5 years
• Small batch blend of 90 barrels
• Aromas of ripe apple, rose, coffee, and candied orange peel precede a juicy palate of dark honey, toasted cinnamon, raisin, allspice, vanilla cream, and well-integrated, toasted oak.
• Non-chill filtered; 49.5% ABV

By reimagining the mash bill of their flagship Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Castle & Key swaps the spicy rye for wheat, resulting in a creamy, confectionary finish for this wheated expression. Soft and sweet with the ABV to stand up to mixing, 2023’s Batch 1 is perfect for sipping or for bourbon-forward cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or Mint Julep.
