Wheel Horse Whiskey Unveils Barrel Master Select

In an exciting announcement, Wheel Horse Whiskey has launched its Barrel Master Select series featuring its first barrel proof small batch bourbon. Distilled and matured at the historic Green River Distilling in Owensboro, Kentucky, this new series marks a significant milestone for the brand. The inaugural offering is a 5-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at an impressive 112.6 proof. Available in a limited run of just 2,100 bottles, it's offered at a suggested retail price of $39.99.

Craftsmanship Meets Tradition

Crafted by Barrel Master Stephen Corrigan, Batch 1 comprises a carefully curated blend of twelve hand-selected barrels containing 5 to 6-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Unlike many competitors, this whiskey is bottled without chill filtration, allowing it to preserve its full character and complexity while delivering a robust tasting experience.

“When we launched Wheel Horse in 2019 at a 101 proof, our goal was to create a whiskey that was bold yet approachable and versatile,” Corrigan shares. He adds, “While we continue to appreciate our 101 proof offering, there's something undeniably exhilarating about presenting our whiskey uncut. With the Barrel Master Select series, we get the opportunity to showcase our bourbon in its purest form.”

Tasting Notes

Barrel Master Select Batch 1 offers a rich and complex flavor profile. On the nose, it entices with aromatic notes of cherry, mocha, and warm spices. The palate reveals decadent flavors of toffee, vanilla, and café au lait, leading to a warm, lingering finish with hints of toasted walnut, burnt sugar, and luscious Black Forest cake. This exquisite combination promises to intrigue both novice drinkers and seasoned connoisseurs alike.

As a highlight in the market, Barrel Master Select Batch 1 is now accessible to whiskey lovers nationwide through online platforms and selected retail outlets. There are plans for future releases in the Barrel Master Select series, including an anticipated Kentucky Straight Rye launch this fall.
