Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bottled In Bond Bourbon Whiskey

Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bottled In Bond Bourbon Whiskey is the wheated third of the estate-distilled Origin Series — a 6-year-old Bottled in Bond bourbon at a mandated 100 proof (50% ABV) in a 750mL bottle. Where the standard Origin runs high-rye, this one swaps rye for 20% Kentucky wheat (68% corn, 12% malted barley) for a softer, rounder profile, distilled in a single season at one distillery and aged in a federally bonded warehouse — the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897's full guarantee of authenticity. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

• Origin: distilled, aged, and bottled at Bardstown Bourbon Company, Bardstown, Kentucky

Wheat Instead of Rye

The wheated recipe is the oldest trick in soft bourbon — replacing rye with wheat trades spice for roundness, and here the brand's official tasting notes follow exactly that script: baked peach with cream meeting cocoa with hints of lemon, an indulgent smooth mouthfeel of stone fruit and toffee, and an alluring, enduring finish. Reviewers consistently rank it the strongest of the three Origin Series expressions. Pair it against the standard Origin Series Bourbon, see more from Bardstown Bourbon Company, or browse Del Mesa's bourbon whiskey collection.

Tasting Notes

Baked peach with cream meets cocoa with hints of lemon; an indulgent, smooth mouthfeel of stone fruit and toffee leads to an alluring and enduring finish (official brand notes).

How to Enjoy

Neat — the wheated softness rewards slow sipping. At 100 proof it also makes a particularly smooth whiskey sour.
