“A pot-distilled wheated bourbon made with caramel malt, leaning toward herbal honey and dark fruit.”
Tasting notes
- nose
- Eucalyptus and honeysuckle over caramel, with jasmine, toasted hazelnut and a touch of dark chocolate
- palate
- Light and sweet on entry with caramel, clover honey and faint earthiness, rounding into tart cherry and honey candy, then red currant, clove and white pepper as the oak tannin builds
- finish
- Long and spiced, holding horehound candy, grains of paradise, blackberry and charred dark fruit with nutmeg, then thinning to oak and a cinnamon-candy heat as it dries

Why it's craft
William Dalton swaps rye for wheat, adds a two-row caramel malt, and is distilled twice in pot stills before entering the barrel at 105 proof. The Doty family, who run French Lick Winery, opened the distillery beside it in 2016, and the farm grows wheat and corn for the stills. Everything is mashed, fermented, aged and bottled on site, and the bonded label guarantees at least four years in wood.
