Here are some of the flavor / aroma and finish notes based on reviews:
| Sensory Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Custard, baked bread, vanilla, caramel, apple and pear, buttered caramel; some sweet fruity & floral overtones; sometimes hints of bread crust and roasted nuts. |
| Palate / Taste | Rich sweetness — honey, cinnamon, caramel, vanilla cream. Fruit (pear, apple) plus dessert-like elements; some spice (nutmeg, cinnamon) develops; creamy and full mouthfeel despite high proof. |
| Finish | Long, with strong sweet/spice interplay: more cinnamon, black pepper, lingering honey; oak influence becomes more apparent; dessert tones like crème brûlée over a backdrop of warmth. |
100% Wheat — unusual to see a whiskey made completely from wheat rather than corn or rye as the dominant grain. It gives a distinct softness and creaminess.
High Proof & Aging — aged ~3 years and bottled at 60% ABV allows the oak, spice, and grain character to shine without being overly harsh.
Flavor Clarity — many reviews praise how cleanly the wheat character comes through, balanced with dessert-like sweetness and spice, without being muddled.
Recognition — strong ratings and awards reinforce its credibility among both enthusiasts and critics.
Excellent for sipping — especially if you enjoy sweet, dessert-like whiskies with a lot of character.
Bold and full-flavored. Because of the barrel proof, you get warmth and complexity.
Good “conversation starter” whiskey: its uniqueness as a wheat whiskey, plus its proof, makes it memorable.
Neat: Best served neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass so the aroma can develop; give it time in the glass.
With Water: A few drops of water helps open up some spice and oak without weakening its sweet backbone.
Cocktails: Could be used in rich whiskey cocktails that can stand up to proof — e.g. Old Fashioned (reduce sugar), or a Wheat Whiskey Smash with bright citrus to counterbalance the sweetness.
Food Pairing: Desserts like crème brûlée, apple pie, caramel pudding; beignet or sweet bread; cheeses with a creamy, mild profile; perhaps chocolaty or fruit-based sweets.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML/700ML unless otherwise noted.
21 and Over: Adult Signature Required
