Locke + Co Distilling Tail Water Wheat Bourbon

10% of proceeds support Colorado Water Trust

This high-wheat bourbon spends five years in new American oak before a six-month finish with charred Colorado Aspen discs. Its 45% wheat mash bill creates a soft, rounded sip with caramel, vanilla cream, honey, butterscotch, toasted bread, and sweet corn. Warm baking spice and Aspen character build through the palate, followed by a long finish of cinnamon, toasted oak, and subtle nutty grain.
