Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat Single Barrel #1 18E17/6715 Bourbon

A rare single barrel exclusive from Ben Holladay, bottled at a powerful cask strength 61.2% ABV. Produced at the historic Holladay Distillery in Weston, Missouri, this exclusive release showcases the distillery’s wheated bourbon style in its purest and most concentrated form.

Unlike the standard Bottled-in-Bond release, this single barrel expression is drawn from one individually selected cask, delivering unique flavour character, greater intensity and natural barrel variation. Crafted using soft red wheat in place of rye, the whiskey retains a rounded texture and sweeter profile while gaining remarkable richness from extended maturation in virgin charred Missouri oak.

• The nose opens with rich caramel, dark honey, toasted oak and ripe stone fruit layered with cinnamon spice.
• The palate delivers concentrated vanilla, burnt sugar, roasted nuts and baked fruit balanced by bold oak structure and warming spice.
• The finish is long, powerful and lingering with pepper spice, charred oak and deep caramel sweetness.

Serve neat or with a few drops of water to open the whiskey’s layered cask strength complexity and soften the powerful oak spice.
