Flavor Profile Differences
Proof and heat dominate the difference.
- Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bottled-in-Bond: A gentle, bakery-like wheater from Bardstown's own stills. Fresh bread and cream on the nose turn into baked peach and vanilla, with a soft, creamy texture and only a light pepper bite.
- Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #011 6 Year Wheated: A very high-wheat bourbon bottled at cask strength. Nearly half the grain is wheat, so it is honeyed and candy-sweet with bright citrus and cherry rather than rye spice.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bottled-in-Bond if you want a soft, creamy, bakery-sweet wheater with bonded credentials at a lower price point and without hunting for it.
- Go with Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #011 6 Year Wheated if you want an extremely wheat-heavy, cask-strength pour that is all honey, candy and citrus.
