Sink into a Wheated Wonderland—a winter tasting devoted to bourbons where wheat (not rye) is the flavor-forward secondary grain. Expect softer spice, round sweetness, baked-goods vibes (think vanilla, honey, nougat), and a plush, lingering finish that feels tailor-made for January by the fire. We’ll explore four wheated bourbons with a simple tasting framework that highlights how grain and oak shape comfort-season flavors.What’s Included:
- 4 × 1-oz neat pours (all wheated bourbons)
- Guided tasting: aroma → palate → finish → texture
- Scorecard & pencil for your personal notes (no judging or ranking—just your flavor journey)
- Cozy fireplace seating + winter playlist
Pours are *** TBA *** Watch this page the week before the event for an update.
We will start promptly at 6:30pm in on our cozy fireplace patio.

Why Wheated?
Wheat swaps rye’s peppery kick for a smoother, pastry-like profile—often showing vanilla cream, warm bread, caramel, and gentle baking spice. It’s a style that shines in colder months and pairs beautifully with chocolate and nutty bites.
