Castle & Key Small Batch Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made at the Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. The mash bill consists of 73% white corn, 10% wheat and 17% malted barley. The whiskey is aged for 5 years and bottled at 50% ABV with pricing around $65.
Lifted honeysuckle, rose, and raspberry aromas mingle with a hint of Turkish delight. The rounded palate balances peppercorn and sweet fruit, finishing with an earthy, elegant close.
Baked, nutty aromas of bread dough, walnut, tanned leather, and jalapeƱo with an oily, shy, dry full body and a warming, stimulating, medium-long everything bagel, caramelized peanuts, and newsprint finish.
The bold palate opens with vanilla and oak, and a surprising peach-nectar hint. Grapefruit peel and coconut emerge on the exhale, shored up by ginger and white-pepper sparks.
