Taconic WHEATED Bourbon 750ml

The wheat really balances out the corn sweetness, giving it a much smoother finish than most bourbons I've tried at this proof. Poured it neat last night and the caramel notes came through beautifully without any harsh burn.

The wheat really does the heavy lifting here—it drinks way smoother than the 90-proof suggests, with that soft caramel note from the charred oak coming through on every sip. I’ve had pricier wheated bourbons that didn’t feel this rounded.

Got this for a change of pace from rye, and that wheat mash bill gives it a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel. The 3-year charred oak aging comes through with a gentle vanilla sweetness that lingers nicely.
