Columbus, Ohio's Watershed Distillery produces its Watershed Bourbon with a unique four-grain mash bill. Here, corn counts for 60%, rye and wheat count towards a combined 35%, and unusually, spelt chips in for the final 5%. The spelt is a nod to Ohio's local agriculture, with the state growing by far the most spelt of any in the nation.

Tasting Notes

"The nose offers vanilla and cocoa powder, with lighter notes of oak, and rye spice. There's a distinctive wheat-y-grainy aroma which must be attributed to the spelt. On the palate, find a sweet dominant profile and a silky mouthfeel, with rich vanilla, brown sugar, and custard, and just faint hints of black pepper. The finish starts short but then builds into a longer, more warming and lingering finish, with final notes of charred, caramel sweetness. For those who like their bourbon sweet, Watershed will certainly be a good fit. "
