Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, by definition, must include a mashbill – the recipe of grains – that includes 51% – 80% corn. Most Kentucky Bourbon is made with rye as the second ingredient. Some, though, have a higher percentage of wheat than rye, and recently, these “wheaters” or “wheated whiskeys,” have been gaining in popularity and prestige.
Our Kentucky Best Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a “wheated” Bourbon, and delivers the big, round body and full flavor that mark this style created by this mash. Kentucky Best is aged four years in new, charred American oak barrels; the finished result is an 80 proof Whiskey (40% alcohol) that’s highlighted by notes of honey and butter, as well as hints of plums and raisins. Straight up or on the rocks, each sip finishes long and warm and lingers on your tongue. We especially enjoy slow-sipping Kentucky Best with a dessert spread of dark chocolate, sharp cheeses, and dried fruits.
