Pre-Prohibition Style - Wheated Bourbon

Pre-Prohibition Style - Wheated Bourbon

$55.00

This bottle is craft distilling at its finest. You cannot produce this Bourbon in a factory. It is handcrafted using some of the same methods my ancestors Isaac and Leopold Hartfield used over 200 years ago. We release 2-3 batches a year that are made up of 30-40 carefully selected barrels.

  • Mashbill: 80% Corn, 20% Malted Wheat

  • Proof: 100 Proof / 50% ABV

  • Tasting Notes: This unique two-grain bourbon replaces Barley with Malted Wheat. The wheat combined with the high corn mashbill delivers a soft palate with cinnamon and pepper spice that is immanently drinkable.

When we brought Bourbon Whiskey back to Bourbon County after 95 years, it was our intention to design a line of whiskeys that represented the spirit the way it was made before prohibition closed 26 distilleries in the county in 1920. We resurrected production techniques from ages past for the Pre-Prohibition line. This Bourbon Whiskey is made using -

  • High Malt Mashbill - We use 80% Corn, 20% Malted Wheat. Before prohibition most distilleries used a higher percentage of malt to assist in fermentation. This unique 2-grain bourbon using 20% Wheat Malt delivers a distinct flavor profile to the finished product. Most modern Bourbons feature 4-8% malt, and supplement with synthetic enzymes.

  • Grain-Out Fermentation - in a similar method to the way Scotch Whiskey has been made for centuries, we remove the solid grain from the mash before we ferment. This produces softer congeners (flavors) in the mash before fermentation.

  • Single-Pass Distilling - using our batch still, each batch is distilled in a single-pass. This leaves a very rich, grain-forward flavor profile in the unaged spirit. We also distill each batch at barrel entry proof (117 proof). This allows us to go straight into the barrel with many of the delicate flavors from the grain intact.

  • Cooperage - We age this product in a mix of 5 and 30 gallon barrels for 1-2 years. Using smaller barrels produces a fully mature flavor-profile while not overriding the softer flavors from the grain.

Our Pre-Prohibition Style Wheated Bourbon is as unique as it is drinkable. It is the imminent every day sipper.
