10 Years
Released in January 2026, Wyoming Whiskey's 2026 barrel-strength bourbon release is selected from the upper floors of Wyoming Whiskey's Kirby, Wyoming rickhouses. Distilled from a mashbill of 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley, it's bottled at 62% ABV (124 proof).
Bottled at barrel proof after 10 years of aging in new charred oak barrels, this is a single-barrel product. Fewer than 500 bottles are typically released a year. Suggested retail price is $299.99.

Pleasant nose. Butterscotch and cornbread meet the typical minerality/wheat character I get from all of Wyoming Whiskey's expressions, plus cherry, mint leaves and a really nice fresh vanilla note.
The palate is excellently balanced and has a great viscosity to it. Those 10 years of age come through clear as day — big time oak, tannin, leather, coffee grounds. Other notes here include cola, pepper, sweet tea, mint leaves, brandied cherries, sassafras, cocoa powder. A peanut shell note hits on the back palate. There's some heat here, but it doesn't drink at 120-plus proof; it's quite manageable.
The finish is drying, tannic and leathery, but not too long. Chopped peanuts, espresso, grape peel and dry oak. After a little while, a bit of sweet vanilla pops up, slightly softening the intensity of the tannin.
A delicious barrel from Wyoming Whiskey. This is a phenomenal, well-aged wheated bourbon. Any lover of high-proof bourbon who doesn't mind a bit of oak should enjoy this. Now, we don't account for pricing in our scores — and $300 is a lot, so I'm not going to tell you to run out and get a bottle — but everyone has their own unique price range, so you'll have to make that decision for yourself. At the end of the day, it's a very good bourbon.
