Wheel Horse Kentucky Straight Bourbon (75cl, 50.5%)

Wheel Horse is a Kentucky straight bourbon distilled at Green River Distilling Co., originally the Owensboro Distilling Co. It is made from a sour mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% malted barley, and aged for a minimum of two years. It is bottled at 101 proof, or 50.5% ABV, without chill-filtration, in a 75cl bottle. The nose offers deep caramel, toasted vanilla bean, warm cinnamon and a hint of fresh mint. The palate is thick and oily, with butterscotch and dark fruit followed by peppery rye spice and heavy oak. The finish is long and warm, with sweet brown sugar and dry spice.
