Holladay Distillery 6 year old Soft Red Wheat Bottled in Bond Missouri Straight Bourbon (2024 Release) 50%

Price: 60 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

A wheater with a mashbill of 73% corn, 15% wheat, and 12% malted barley. Soft on the nose, aromas, barrel char, and aged oak and fresh cherries, vanilla, root beer, and aged tobacco. A rich, gooey palate with balanced sweetness, apricot, cherries, brown sugar, and strawberries, with a long finish. Nicely layered and balanced between the fruit, oak and spice. It’s mellow at 50% and doesn’t really need water. (Release date: 09/24)
