Second go around. I feel like the body may be a little bit heavier and the legs just a little bit slower in the glass than I noticed before.
Nose was again a bit dusty and astringent at first but opening up I do feel like I appreciate more cherries and leather. There may be a little bit of baked apple pie behind it as well.
The palate definitely has some quick sweetness that is washed away with burn and a little toffee. Two drops of water does something to bring about maple pecan pancakes, but doesn’t do much to change the pallet.
I really wanted to like this one. I have high hopes to find a wheated bourbon that isn’t such a pain in the ass to hunt down. Sadly I don’t think this is the one.

If you're looking for a wheated burbon that's affordable and easy to locate, get a bottle of Rebel Yell 100. Or, pay twice the $19 of the RY100 and just get Makers 46.
I didn't realize that this was a wheated mash bill.
You mean palate, unless you had cases and cases on pallets
