Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sourced Bourbon Single Barrel Select taste like?

This wheated bourbon delivers rich caramel and vanilla sweetness balanced by warming baking spices and oak. The high wheat content creates a softer, more approachable mouthfeel compared to rye-heavy bourbons, while the 116 proof provides intensity and full flavor development. Expect creamy textures with notes of cinnamon, chocolate, and toasted nuts.

Is Sourced Bourbon good for cocktails?

Absolutely - the 116 proof strength ensures the bourbon's character shines through in cocktails without being overwhelmed by mixers. The wheated mash bill provides excellent balance in classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, while the single barrel intensity adds complexity to whiskey sours and boulevardiers.

How should I drink Sourced Single Barrel Select?

This bourbon is excellent neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors. The high proof can be intense initially, so adding a few drops of water helps reveal the wheated bourbon's natural sweetness and complexity. It also works beautifully in premium cocktails where you want the bourbon character to be the star.

What makes wheated bourbon different from regular bourbon?

Wheated bourbons like Sourced use wheat as the flavoring grain instead of rye, creating a softer, sweeter profile with less spice bite. This results in more vanilla, caramel, and honey notes, with a creamier mouthfeel. Famous wheated bourbons include Maker's Mark and the Pappy Van Winkle line, making this style highly sought after by collectors.

Is Sourced Bourbon worth the price for a 5-year bourbon?

The value lies in the single barrel selection process and wheated mash bill, which are typically found in more premium expressions. At 116 proof with careful barrel selection, this offers the complexity and intensity usually associated with older or more expensive wheated bourbons, making it an excellent entry point into high-proof wheated bourbon territory.
