Following its bourbon debut final fall, Kentucky’s Inexperienced River Distillery (previously O.Z. Tyler) is increasing their portfolio this spring with two new expressions. Whereas a full-proof single barrel bourbon is on the best way, Inexperienced River followers can snag this new bottle now: Inexperienced River Wheated Bourbon. The mashbill is just like Inexperienced River’s inaugural providing simply with wheat changing rye because the flavoring grain (at 21% of the mashbill). There’s no age assertion on the label, however we will safely name this one not less than 4 years outdated.
Dan Callaway, VP of New Product Improvement for the distillery, had this to say in regards to the newest addition to the Inexperienced River lineup: “In distinction with Inexperienced River Bourbon, which brings a hearty spine of rye spice, the wheated expression lends itself to simple consuming whereas holding its personal distinct character. It’s a beautiful tackle a traditional Kentucky recipe and the right addition to the enduring Inexperienced River model.”
Chris loved the usual bourbon when he tasted it final fall and regarded it an excellent worth. How does its wheated brother stack up?
Wheated bourbons can generally be a bit one dimensional, particularly on the nostril, however that is impressively expressive from the get-go. The aroma is vivid and gently candy with a great deal of orchard fruit: golden apples, recent peaches, and dried apricots. And it builds because it opens with undertones of buttery caramel and comfortable baking spice. The palate is a bit more simple however impressively approachable, showcasing rounded notes of butterscotch, peanut brittle, and well-balanced oak forward of a warming end of vanilla frosting and orange rock sweet.
Whereas it’s a well-executed younger wheater, I feel I prefer it only a bit greater than the rye-based bourbon. And even with the $5 markup, it’s a equally stable worth.
90 proof.
