Bardstown Origin Series, Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey

Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Origin Series Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon is a mainstay in their core lineup, showcasing the distillery’s standard, in-house distilled whiskeys. Released in August 2024, this bourbon is aged for six years and bottled at 106 proof, offering a robust yet approachable profile. What sets this wheated bourbon apart is its unique mash bill, featuring 53% corn, 39% wheat, and 8% malted barley. The high percentage of wheat provides a softer grain base compared to traditional rye-forward bourbons, while the low barrel entry proof of 108 (well below the industry maximum of 125) allows for a more nuanced interaction between the spirit and the barrel during aging. These choices reflect Bardstown Bourbon Company’s innovative approach to whiskey-making. Distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky, the bourbon benefits from the distillery’s state-of-the-art facilities and expertise. It offers excellent value for a six-year-old wheated bourbon, making it an attractive option for anyone exploring the wheated category.
