“Ten-year Van Winkle wheated bourbon bottled near barrel proof at 107 — the entry to the Pappy family”
Tasting notes
- nose
- vanilla, caramel, roasted pecan, seasoned oak, warm tobacco and a wisp of charred wood
- palate
- plush wheat bread, ripe black cherry, caramel fudge and toffee over deepening oak and brown spice
- finish
- long and smoky — cherry tobacco, dark vanilla, raisin toast and drying oak tannin
Mash bill
Full grain split not published.
Van Winkle wheated bourbon recipe (exact percentages unpublished): corn-led with wheat in place of rye as the flavoring grain plus malted barley — the soft, bread-and-caramel 'wheater' profile the family carried from Stitzel-Weller to Buffalo Trace, where wheat lets cherry and oak sweetness lead instead of rye pepper.
