Flavor Profile Differences
These two land very differently on the palate for heat.
- 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.
- Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series High Wheat: Because wheat makes up a massive 39% of the mash bill, this pour trades the aggressive spice of rye for a softer, oily mouthfeel. Expect bright fruit notes like ripe apricot and lemon on the nose, transitioning to pastry dough, light oak, and a creamy creme brulee sweetness balanced by a mild peppery backbone.
Which One Should You Choose?
- 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.
- Go with Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series High Wheat if you want a softer, fruit-forward, contemporary profile with a richer, oily texture and lower emphasis on traditional oak at a slightly lower price point.
