Double Oaked High Wheat Mashbill
250th Anniversary Edition
WhistlePig Declaration Wheat Whiskey is a bold yet refreshing expression of American ingenuity, crafted to commemorate 250 years of this country doing things its own way. As leaders of the Rye Revolution, we’re not resting on our laurels — we’re planting a flag in the next frontier of craft whiskey. Built on a high wheat mashbill of 100% American grain, it leans fully into wheat’s naturally softer, more approachable character. A second finish in wave stave barrels adds a toasted flavor gradient and complexity. Double American oak aged and bottled at 86 proof, it’s exactly what summer calls for.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Soft, sweet, and incredibly inviting. Upfront notes of warm, honeyed pastry and fresh vanilla bean are beautifully rounded out by a gentle bouquet of toasted American oak.
Palate: Exceptionally smooth, rich, and creamy on the mouthfeel. Luscious layers of liquid caramel, baked artisanal bread, and sweet, buttery toffee-butterscotch melt seamlessly into subtle wood tannins.
Finish: Crisp, clean, and remarkably refreshing. Leaves a long, comforting, and lingering warmth characterized by sweet oak and light honeyed grains.
"This is a blend of high-wheat mashbill whiskeys (official mashbill is unstated) made in Vermont and Indiana. Further details are unknown, though pay attention to the copper-hued stopper, meant to evoke the cracked Liberty Bell. As wheat whiskeys go, this one has lots to commend it, its nose quite vibrant with an aromatic mix of Wheat Thins and peppery rye, which clearly makes up a good portion of the total mashbill. It could easily pass for a well-ryed bourbon, as there’s even a hint of peanut pushed down in the nose." - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker
"This is a double oak aged high wheat whiskey aged for four years. The mouthfeel is watery but honestly quite nice, and the body has good flavors that don’t try to do too much with the profile. It’s enjoyable and easy to sip on. There are great components present throughout the body that I would have loved to be pumped up. However, on the whole for a four year wheat there is a lot to enjoy." - Charles Steele, The Whiskey Wash
