About Wheel Horse Batch #3 Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Batch #3 of Wheel Horse's flagship bourbon is distilled from a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley using copper stills. Afterwards, the whiskey matures in 53-gallon charred (no.4 char) American oak casks for 2 to 4 years. The small-batch sour mash whiskey is bottled at 101 proof without chill filtration, making for a delicious sipper with a classic bourbon taste profile: sweet and creamy with caramel, oak, orange zest, and a touch of spice. It has won several awards, including a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

About Wheel Horse
The historic Owensboro Distilling Company stands in Owensboro, Kentucky. Situated on the westernmost part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the site has some 130 years of rich distilling history. Built in 1885, the Green River Distillery was the first to operate on the grounds, making it the first distillery in the city and only the 10th permitted in Kentucky. The distillery had a rocky past, changing hands several times and laying dormant for several decades.
After coming close to being destroyed, it was rebuilt in 2014 under new ownership. Ron Call was brought in to help evolve the project with his 4 decades of experience working as Master Distiller at Jim Beam and Florida Caribbean Distillers. After production resumed in 2016, he passed the torch to his son Jacob Call. The 3rd-generation distiller oversees the crafting of the sour-mash whiskey in copper stills, as well as the aging in new American oak casks.
There are not many things more American than bourbon, and although most of it is produced in Kentucky, it can be produced all over the USA. It must be made with at least 51% corn and bottled at 40% ABV or higher. So why not give this American classic a try?
The nose is fruity with orange zest, caramel, and oak aromas. The creamy palate has a pleasant sweetness with caramel, vanilla, oak, and hints of rye spice, culminating in an oaky, sweet, and buttery finish with baking spice.
