WHEEL HORSE KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON
$144.00
Regular price $109.00*Whisky Advocates Top 20 - 2021 (#19)*
Made at Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky, this shows maturity far beyond its 2 to 4 years in the barrel, with a winning combination of proof and price. Root beer spice, candied pineapple, wet walnuts, clementine, and Christmas cookies on the nose. A velvety texture on the palate brings butter pecan ice cream, cinnamon toast, maple syrup, and vanilla custard. There is tremendous length on the finish, with a cola-like syrupy sweetness throughout. As debuts go, this one impresses.
Appearance: A darker shade of copper, bordering on brown with orange highlights. In the glass, there were several long legs along the side.
Nose: Brown sugar and molasses dominate with oak. Given the proof, was expecting more heat, but the whiskey’s nose was remarkably balanced and the flavour was delightful.
Palate: The whiskey tastes like it smells. The terms sugar and spice come immediately to mind. Molasses and some rye spice for sure, with a medium body and lingering finish. It took a few tastes, but there was another element in the background. Towards the end of the taste, there’s a subtle presence of candied pecan.

Customer Reviews
Tried this for the first time as part of the Bourbon Brother’s six month subscription. It might well be my new favourite. This is exactly why the subscriptions are a great idea. You get to try new things without risking the money on a whole bottle.
Delicious! This one is definitely in my top 3. It was only a few hours ago when I pointed to my empty bottle and said to one of my daughters, if you girls are looking for something for my birthday in August, feel free to chip in for a bottle of this one ☝️ As always I sip em neat at room temperature. Very tasty whiskey 🥃
