Wheated Bourbon • Aged 7 Years • Bottled at 109.12 proof • Limited Liquor Lineup Edition • Mash Bill: High-wheat recipe (corn + wheat + malted barley) • Distilled and matured by River Roots in North Carolina.

This Liquor Lineup exclusive was hand selected to capture ripe sweetness, soft grain character, and just enough proof to carry serious flavor.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Vanilla gelato sweetness emerges first rich cream, honeycomb, followed by warm caramel and a hint of toasted wheat.
- Palate: Silky texture with brown sugar, fresh baked wheat bread, white chocolate, ripe berries and soft oak spice. The proof gives it presence without harshness.
- Finish: Smooth and lingering marshmallow sweetness fades into subtle pepper spice, gentle oak tannin, and a final whisper of baked wheat crust.
