The spirit is four-years-old with a 94-proof profile and boasts an approachable, balanced flavor with notes of cinnamon spice and dried cherry. The spirit is positioned as the perfect option for incorporating into a cocktail recipe of your choosing or even as a casual sipper to make it great for a variety of drinkers to enjoy.
Log Still Distiller Founder Wally Dant commented on the Monk’s Road Wheated Bourbon saying, "We knew we wanted our Wheated Bourbon to appeal to as many whiskey drinkers as possible. This new offering is incredibly soft on the palate and provides that smooth finish that so many wheated mash bills are known for. This is going to be a great sipper for the colder months."
