Flavor Profile Differences
The fruit-versus-grain contrast drives this one.
- 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.
- Journeyman Featherbone Bourbon: An organic, wheat-heavy bourbon from a Michigan craft distillery. It stays round and caramel sweet on the palate with a peppery edge, while the nose is quiet and still a little young.
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 Journeyman Featherbone Bourbon if you want an organic, Midwest craft wheater with a round, caramel-forward body at a lower price point and without hunting for it.
