The whiskey was distilled and aged in Los Angeles by R6 Distillery — now closed — from a mash of 58% wheat and 42% yellow corn, and it rested 9 years in a single 53-gallon barrel of #4-char new American oak before Fallen Barrel bottled barrel #R-013 at 67.3% ABV (134.6 proof).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67.3% (134.6 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMashbill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58% wheat, 42% yellow corn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distilled \u0026amp; aged in Los Angeles, California (R6 Distillery)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e #R-013, single barrel, char #4 new American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFallen Barrel House exists for one reason: when a distillery closes, its barrels usually vanish into anonymity. Fallen Barrel buys and bottles those orphaned casks under their own name — \"the last of it,\" as the back label puts it. R6 was a small Los Angeles distillery working with pot stills and a 95% local-grain philosophy, and this wheat whiskey is among the last chances to taste its work. It belongs in any serious survey of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheat leads with a soft, mellow sweetness — honey, vanilla and fresh bread — while nine years in new oak layer on caramel, cinnamon spice and dark cherry.
