Bushwood Wheated Bourbon 750 ml

Bushwood Wheated Bourbon uses wheat as its secondary grain instead of rye, and that single swap changes the shape of the whole whiskey. Rye brings pepper and bite; wheat steps back and lets the corn sweetness and the barrel do the talking, so wheated bourbon reads rounder, softer and more dessert-leaning than its high-rye cousins. The nose is caramel, vanilla and baked apple; the palate is soft up front with brown sugar, honey and light oak spice; the finish is gentle and clean rather than hot. It is an easy neat pour for anyone who finds high-rye bourbon abrasive, and it builds a rich, mellow old fashioned.
