Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sourced Bourbon Single Barrel Select taste like?

This wheated bourbon delivers rich honey sweetness with soft wheat grain character, butterscotch, and warm baking spices. The high wheat content in the mash bill creates a smoother, more approachable profile than traditional rye-heavy bourbons, while the 116 proof provides intensity and complexity.

Is this bourbon good for cocktails?

Yes, the 116 proof strength makes this excellent for premium cocktails where you want the bourbon character to shine through. The wheated mash bill provides natural sweetness that works particularly well in Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, and bourbon punches.

How should I drink this bourbon?

This single barrel select is excellent neat or with a splash of water to open up the aromatics. The cask strength allows you to control the intensity - start neat to appreciate the full character, then add water gradually to find your preferred proof point.

What makes wheated bourbon different?

Wheated bourbon uses wheat instead of rye as the flavoring grain, creating a softer, sweeter profile with less spice bite. This 70/21/9 corn-wheat-barley mash bill produces honey and vanilla notes rather than the peppery spice found in high-rye bourbons.

Is this bourbon worth the price for a 5-year age statement?

The value lies in the single barrel selection process, cask strength bottling, and unique wheated mash bill. While 5 years is relatively young, the high proof concentration and careful barrel selection deliver complexity typically found in older expressions, plus the distinctiveness of individual barrel character.
