Castle & Key Small Batch Wheated Bourbon
Description
This Wheated Bourbon is a stunning triumph born from one of American whiskey’s greatest restoration stories, housed in the historic Castle & Key Distillery. By utilizing a unique mash bill of white corn and white winter wheat, the whiskey achieves a softer, sweeter, and more pastry-like profile than its competitors, with a creamy, doughy mouthfeel that is instantly approachable. This is a sophisticated and highly-rated bourbon that will impress any enthusiast, yet it maintains a delicate sweetness that makes it a perfect, easy-sipping dram for any occasion.
