Frequently Asked Questions
What does Sourced Bourbon Single Barrel Select taste like?
Sourced Bourbon Single Barrel Select delivers a rich, complex profile with honeyed wheat sweetness, vanilla custard, and butterscotch on the palate, balanced by warming oak and gentle spices. The wheated mash bill creates a softer, more approachable character than rye-heavy bourbons while maintaining bold cask-strength intensity.
Is this bourbon good for cocktails?
Yes, this 116-proof wheated bourbon excels in premium cocktails, particularly Old Fashioneds and Manhattans. The high proof ensures the bourbon's character shines through mixers, while the wheat-forward profile adds natural sweetness and body that enhances classic whiskey cocktails.
How should I drink Sourced Bourbon Single Barrel Select?
This cask-strength bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors. Start neat to experience the full intensity, then add a few drops of water to reveal hidden complexity. The wheated profile makes it more approachable at full proof than many cask-strength bourbons.
What makes this different from other bourbons?
This bourbon stands apart with its wheated mash bill (21% wheat instead of rye), single barrel selection, and cask-strength bottling at 116 proof. The wheat creates a softer, sweeter profile with natural smoothness, while the Kentucky distillation and Florida bottling represent a unique geographic collaboration in American whiskey.
Is this bourbon worth the investment?
For wheated bourbon enthusiasts and cask-strength collectors, this represents exceptional value with its single barrel rarity, 5-year aging, and distinctive mash bill. The combination of Kentucky craftsmanship and careful Florida selection creates a unique expression that showcases the artistry of American whiskey making.
