Bender's Small Batch Wheat Whiskey is a 100% wheat whiskey aged three years and finished on San Francisco's Treasure Island, bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV).
Bender's Whiskey Co. hand-crafts small-batch whiskey on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. Its wheat whiskey was aged twice: first in Canada, not far from where one of the founders was born, then given additional aging on Treasure Island. It is the brand's take on a classic Irish-style whiskey, complex yet accessible, and comes in at a lower proof than is typical for Bender's.
Expect subtle notes of vanilla and stone fruit with a rich, honeyed finish.
The vintage cask-aged label makes it a fun gift for San Francisco whiskey fans.
