This time around they made this bourbon using a soft Kentucky wheat mash bill along with heirloom Bloody Butcher corn.
“We are excited to offer this first batch of our wheated bourbon,” said Master Distiller Arlon “AJ” Casey Jones. “This offers so much flavor and I know you will love it. I’ve picked a barrel from this batch and am inviting folks out to harvest it and make your own bottle.”
The distillery’s first batch of Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon has been aged for 3 years in charred new oak barrels and is bottled at a barrel strength of 110° proof (55% ABV).
Jones says this batch is rendered with a deep golden amber caramel hue. The all-new bourbon features a velvety smooth mouthfeel with subtle sweetness and a slight nutty body.
The new bourbon is available now. Bourbon fans are invited to visit the distillery where they can join the Master Distiller to harvest a hand-picked barrel of the new Kentucky Wheated Bourbon and then fill, cork, and label their own bottle from start to finish.
Casey Jones Distillery Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon is now available for purchase at the distillery, from select retailers, and online.
Casey Jones Distillery was founded in 2014 by AJ, grandson of Casey, and his wife Peg Hays. The indomitable team operates the company with a focus on tradition and authenticity in the distillation of small-batch craft spirits. Building on an infamous family history of still building, bootlegging, and Kentucky whiskey.
