Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bourbon Whiskey is a standout release from Bardstown’s Origin line, crafted entirely at the distillery and designed to highlight a softer, more rounded bourbon profile. By replacing rye with wheat in the mash bill, this bourbon emphasizes sweetness and elegance over spice, offering a smooth, approachable expression that still carries the depth of classic Kentucky craftsmanship.

Distilled and aged on-site in Bardstown, Kentucky, this wheated bourbon rests in new charred American oak barrels until it reaches full maturity. In the glass, it reveals a warm golden-amber color. The nose opens with inviting aromas of honey, vanilla, and fresh baked bread, accented by light oak and caramel. On the palate, it is velvety and balanced, with flavors of toffee, butterscotch, and ripe fruit supported by gentle oak and baking spice. The wheat influence softens the edges, creating a long, smooth finish that lingers with sweetness and warmth.

This bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open its layers, though it also works beautifully in cocktails like an Old Fashioned, where its softer character shines. As part of the Origin Series, it demonstrates Bardstown Bourbon Company’s commitment to grain-to-glass authenticity, proving the distillery’s ability to craft world-class whiskey fully in-house.
