Reviewed February 2, 2021 (edited August 7, 2022)So this one will be interesting. There are some rough reviews on Distiller, but some "experts" have called this out as one of the best wheaters available. If nothing else it has a kickass name on the bottle. Let's see how she sips.... Nose is a classic wheat profile. Some caramel on the edges maybe, but overall a bit malty. First sip drops that toasted wheat. The overall palate is almost malted caramel as that wheat just floats above the juice. I definitely see where some people get chewy on this one. It does have some strong cereal notes. Despite the solid proof here it never seems to overpower. The finish is quite nice as the soft burn lingers on the edges of your tongue. So what to make of this. First, it's no Pappy (but who really expected it to). It is however a farily nice pour if you can handle the malty profile. I can definitely see why the reviews are all over the place as it has very distinct notes. The interesting thing is that the longer I take with this glass the more I am enjoying it, especially the backend. I'm not going to gush on this one, but it is better than the reviews and is definitely worth a try.60.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed January 15, 2021 (edited November 3, 2021)Nice dark brown color. Almost looks like a Woodford Double Oaked in the glass. The nose has me baffled. I know wheaters are soft and subtle, but I get something kinda like caramel corn on the nose and wheat bread dough before its baked. So maybe a bit yeasty? It's got a quick bite on the palate but it quickly smooths out and makes me think of cinnamon on buttered wheat toast. It even has a bit of herbal, earthy spice on the finish that I'd normally associate with rye... but with this being 100% wheat, clearly that's not it. I wonder if they use malted wheat... Maybe that's where some of those earthy notes are coming from. Either way... It's interesting enough and not offensive at all, so I consider it a good purchase, but I probably won't be eager to replace it once the bottle is drained. Honestly, I expected a much heavier wheat flavor.
