Sourced Bourbon Single Barrel Select is a 5-year straight wheated bourbon whiskey bottled at cask strength 116 proof, showcasing the softer, sweeter profile that wheat brings to traditional bourbon making. Distilled in Kentucky's legendary bourbon country and carefully selected as a single barrel offering, this wheated expression delivers the complexity of high-proof bourbon with the honeyed smoothness that only wheat can provide.

From the rolling hills of Kentucky comes this exceptional wheated bourbon, distilled at the renowned O.Z. Tyler Distillery and bottled by Manifest Distilling in Jacksonville, Florida. The 70/21/9 corn-wheat-barley mash bill places wheat as the secondary grain instead of rye, creating a distinctly different flavor profile that bourbon legends like Pappy Van Winkle have made famous. This single barrel selection represents the art of barrel hunting — choosing individual barrels that showcase the best characteristics of wheated bourbon at its peak maturity.

How should I drink this wheated bourbon?

At 116 proof, this bourbon rewards neat sipping with a few drops of water to open up the flavors.

What makes wheated bourbon different from regular bourbon?

Wheated bourbon uses wheat as the secondary grain instead of rye, creating a softer, sweeter flavor profile. Where rye adds spice and bite, wheat contributes honey-like sweetness and a silkier mouthfeel. This makes wheated bourbons more approachable while still maintaining complexity and depth.

Single barrel selections at cask strength offer exceptional value for bourbon enthusiasts seeking unique expressions. At 5 years and 116 proof, this wheated bourbon provides the complexity typically found in older bottlings, while the wheat mash bill and single barrel selection ensure a distinctive drinking experience you won't find elsewhere.

What is similar to this wheated bourbon?

Fans of Maker's Mark, Larceny, or Weller will appreciate this wheated profile, though the higher proof and single barrel selection offer more intensity and uniqueness. The wheat-forward mash bill creates similarities to these beloved wheated bourbons while the cask strength bottling provides the robust character that collectors seek.
