About the The Wheater Bourbon
A masterfully balanced "transitional" wheated bourbon that combines youthful craft energy with seasoned maturity! "The Wheater" is a blend of at least 60% Spirits of French Lick’s own 2-year-old double pot distilled bourbon and 40% hand-selected 7-year-old wheated bourbon barrels sourced from Wyoming. To add a signature twist, Alan Bishop utilizes a portion of caramel malt in the mash bill and two distinct yeast strains—one for grain character and a "brandy yeast" for fruity esters. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it offers the silky, pillowy texture that wheated fans love, enhanced by the unique cocoa and toasted nut notes that define this Indiana distillery.
NOSE
Deep and rich with a spring-like floral profile. Aromas of toasted buckwheat pancakes, vanilla ice cream, and Werther’s caramel are met with a hint of cinnamon hearts and salted cashews.
PALATE
Creamy and dessert-like with a lush, oily mouthfeel. Sweet entries of vanilla cake frosting and honey-drizzled biscuits give way to complex notes of apricot, black tea, and a touch of milk chocolate.
FINISH
Medium-long and warming. The finish is exceptionally well-balanced with lingering notes of oak tannin, nutmeg, and a signature "wheated" warmth that fades into soft cocoa powder.
