Wheat Whiskey
Wheat whiskey is a type of American whiskey where wheat makes up at least 51% of the grain mash used in its production. This whiskey is known for its smooth and often softer flavor profile compared to other types of whiskey, such as rye whiskey or bourbon. The high wheat content typically imparts a gentle sweetness and a lighter body, making it approachable and versatile for both sipping and mixing in cocktails.
The production process of wheat whiskey involves fermenting a mash that usually contains wheat, corn, and malted barley. The mash is distilled, aged in new charred oak barrels, and then bottled. The aging process in charred oak barrels contributes to the whiskey's depth and complexity, adding notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak.
One of the most renowned producers of wheat whiskey is Bernheim Original, which is made at the Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky. This brand helped popularize wheat whiskey and is known for its smooth, mellow flavor. Other notable wheat whiskeys include Maker's Mark, which uses a high percentage of wheat in its mash bill, and Old Elk, which offers a distinctive wheat whiskey as part of its portfolio.
Wheat whiskey has gained a dedicated following for its unique flavor profile and versatility, making it a noteworthy category in the world of American whiskey.
