First distilled in 2017, its wheated bourbon was carefully held back to build inventory, and the distillery waited eight years before introducing it as a nationwide core release. The mash bill is 70% corn, 22% wheat and 8% malted barley, and the whiskey matures at least six years in new #4-char American oak barrels. Head Distiller and Blender Dave Bob Gaspar has said six years is a sweet spot for the distillery's bourbons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplacing rye spice with a high share of wheat makes it softer, sweeter and more approachable, opening with oak and floral fruit, with the wheat bringing a gently sweet edge and six years in barrel adding depth and a rounded texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe teal Lexington label makes it a handsome gift for bourbon fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbons are prized for their soft, gentle sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA splash of water softens the 99-proof strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak and floral fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gently sweet wheat, rounded oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft, sweet, approachable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Town Branch, Lexington, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheated Kentucky straight bourbon, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70% corn, 22% wheat, 8% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrels:\u003c\/strong\u003e New #4-char American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99 proof (49.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a splash of water, or stir a smooth Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
