From the venerable master distiller himself, Harlen Wheatley, comes a namesake vodka in Wheatley from the Buffalo Trace distillery. Made primarily from wheat and with other grain, this vodka is distilled no less than 10 times on what they call a “micro still” and then triple filtered, leaving a very pure neutral spirit.
Sampled neat from a Glencairn, nothing added. Color is completely clear. On the nose the vodka is perfectly neutral and soft, with only a faint ethanol scent and burn to let you know that the clear liquid isn’t just water sitting in the glass. Very clean scent.
Like a wheated spirit should be, the taste is primarily sweet, but not overly so by any means, and again a very neutral light ethanol in flavor at first. Then a wonderfully soft sweet vanilla and light warming spice come forward. This vodka goes down so easy it’s almost dangerous! Very clean and crisp profile, as I suppose it should be after distilling the heck out of it!
Overall, fantastic vodka from the masters at BT distillery. A great clean neutral base to mix with anything you choose. Cheers!

This just became available in NC. As soon as I polish off my bottle of Stoli, this will replace it for a trial run.
I’ve never seen this one, but Platinum 7X from Buffalo Trace is my go to bottom shelf Vodka.
