THE CRAFT

What Makes Wheated Bourbon Different

Wheated bourbon replaces rye—the traditional flavoring grain in many bourbon mash bills—with wheat. Corn still provides the foundation, but wheat often allows caramel, vanilla, honey, and soft fruit notes to come forward with less of rye's familiar peppery edge.

That does not mean every wheated bourbon is gentle. Age, proof, fermentation, warehouse location, and barrel char can produce anything from a round, dessert-like pour to a concentrated cask-strength whiskey with substantial oak and structure. The mash bill is one clue, not the entire story.

Prime Barrel wheated bourbon and private barrel picks are chosen for balance, depth, and individual character. Detailed age, proof, mash bill, and tasting information make it easier to compare bottles and find the style you prefer, whether you are exploring wheated bourbon for the first time or seeking a limited single barrel release.

What wheat changes in bourbon

Wheat generally contributes less overt pepper than rye, allowing corn sweetness, fermentation character and oak to take center stage. It does not guarantee a soft whiskey: proof, age, climate and barrel extraction can still create a powerful, structured pour.
