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.
- Whiskey Acres Straight Bourbon: A farm-to-bottle wheater from northern Illinois. Soft red winter wheat keeps it gentle and bready, with caramel and vanilla up front and very little bite at 87 proof.
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 with an older age statement.
- Go with Whiskey Acres Straight Bourbon if you want a soft, easygoing wheated bourbon made start to finish on one Midwest farm at a lower price point.
