From Oaklore Distilling Co. in Matthews, this no-age-statement bourbon embodies the philosophy that every grain tells a story, creating a complex whiskey where sweetness meets spice in perfect balance.\n\nBorn in the heart of North Carolina's burgeoning whiskey country, Oaklore Distilling Co. crafts their spirits with the belief that each grain contributes its own narrative to the final product. Their four-grain mash bill represents a careful choreography of flavors, where corn provides the foundation, wheat adds gentle sweetness, rye contributes spice, and malt brings depth and complexity. The distillery's tagline, \"Where Your Story Meets the Staves,\" speaks to both the personal journey of each bourbon lover and the collaborative tale told by their carefully selected grains.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm baking spices, vanilla custard, honeyed corn, toasted oak, subtle floral wheat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, black pepper spice, buttered corn bread, cinnamon bark, dried fruit sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium length with lingering warmth, oak tannins, baking spice, and a gentle wheat softness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46.0% (92 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo Age Statement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOaklore Distilling Co.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatthews, North Carolina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour Grain (Corn, Wheat, Rye, Malt)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvening porch sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e The balanced four-grain profile shines when savored neat as the sun sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey flights:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compare against traditional three-grain bourbons to appreciate the malt's contribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft cocktail mixing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 92 proof and complex grain bill create exceptional Old Fashioneds and Boulevardiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorytelling gatherings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect conversation starter about North Carolina's emerging whiskey scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOaklore Four Grain Bourbon offers a complex flavor profile that balances sweet corn and wheat with spicy rye and rich malt. You'll taste warm caramel and vanilla on the palate, complemented by baking spices and a gentle wheat sweetness that rounds out the rye's peppery bite.

The wheat provides smoothness while the rye adds spice, making it perfect for Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, and Boulevardiers. The malt component adds complexity that elevates classic bourbon cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOaklore Four Grain Bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the four-grain complexity. The 92 proof makes it approachable for sipping, while the balanced mash bill rewards careful tasting. Try it neat first to appreciate how the wheat, rye, and malt interact with the corn base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes four-grain bourbon different from traditional bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour-grain bourbon like Oaklore includes malted barley as a flavoring grain alongside corn, wheat, and rye, while traditional bourbon typically uses only corn, wheat OR rye, and malted barley for enzymes. The addition of both wheat and rye creates a more complex flavor profile, balancing sweetness and spice while the malt adds depth and richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Oaklore Four Grain worth trying for North Carolina whiskey fans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely—Oaklore Four Grain represents the innovative spirit of North Carolina's craft distilling movement.
