Bardstown Bourbon Co. Wheated Bourbon Single Barrel
El Cerrito Liquor – Jazzy’s Private Selection
131.2 Proof | Barrel Strength

Selected exclusively by El Cerrito Liquor – Jazzy’s, this single barrel showcases Bardstown Bourbon Co.’s wheated bourbon recipe at its natural barrel strength. Distilled from a mash bill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley, the bourbon was barreled on November 26, 2018, aged for approximately 7½ years in Rickhouse C, Floor 6, and bottled on May 17, 2026 without chill filtration or proof reduction.

The nose opens with rich aromas of warm caramel, vanilla bean, honey, toasted oak, and freshly baked bread, followed by hints of cinnamon, brown sugar, and dried orchard fruit. On the palate, layers of butterscotch, crème brûlée, sweet wheat, dark caramel, roasted nuts, and baking spices unfold into a full-bodied, velvety mouthfeel. Despite its 131.2 proof, the wheat softens the intensity, delivering remarkable balance and richness. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving lingering notes of oak, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla.

A powerful yet elegant barrel-strength bourbon, this exclusive pick highlights the depth, complexity, and craftsmanship that have made Bardstown Bourbon Co. one of Kentucky’s most respected modern distilleries.
