Winter Wheat is a refined and inviting wheated bourbon that blends smooth elegance with subtle complexity. With its soft grain sweetness, gentle fruit accents and toasted-barrel character, it offers a mellow, polished sipping experience that appeals to both bourbon newcomers and enthusiasts seeking a gentler profile.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by the Mary Dowling Whiskey Company in Louisville, Kentucky, this expression honours Mary Dowling—a trailblazing woman in the pre-Prohibition bourbon industry. The mash bill is composed of 65% corn, 25% winter wheat and 10% malted barley. The bourbon is aged for over four years in new American white-oak barrels that have been toasted and charred (#3 char level), before bottling at 91 proof (45.5% ABV). The “winter wheat” component refers to the specific strain of wheat grown in Kentucky used in the mash bill, contributing to the whiskey’s distinctive character.
Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Soft aromas of freshly baked cornbread and warm vanilla cream lead, with delicate notes of strawberry or red-fruit highlights and subtle mint or herbal lift.
-
Palate: The mouthfeel is smooth and moderately full, offering grain sweetness (candy corn or butterscotch), light baking spice, and mid-palate fruit tones (berries or cherry) layered with gentle oak toast and roasted nuts.
-
Finish: Medium in length and softly warming, the finish brings forth oak-tinged vanilla, mild allspice or cinnamon, and a clean-lingering impression of sweet grain and subtle dry wood. The overall profile remains balanced, never overly bold.
