Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof

Description

When Kyle begins the process of crafting a batch of Ben Holladay or Holladay Soft Red Wheat, he blends bourbon from different barrels and tastes them in their original form – at Rickhouse Proof. Each expression of Holladay Rickhouse Proof is bottled at the exact proof from the bourbon barrel yield after a minimum of six years aging in one of the original Holladay Rickhouses. No two releases will ever be exactly the same, but every bottle of Rickhouse has one important commonality – full proof, full flavour.

Produced from a mash bill of 73% corn, 15% wheat, and 12% barley at the Holladay distillery in Weston, Missouri, this is a cask-strength edition of its wheated bourbon. The whiskey is matured for a minimum of six years before being bottled on site at the distillery.

On the nose, expect toffee, vanilla and sweet oak tannins, before a palate of caramel, orchard fruits and hints of baking spices.
