Product Description

Wathen's Kentucky Bourbon is a premium Kentucky Bourbon created by Charles W. Medley using the same recipe and techniques that have been handed directly and unchanged through eight generations of the Wathen and Medley families. The two families combined their unwavering commitment to quality with the conditions and ingredients of the region to produce Kentucky's finest straight bourbon whiskey. Chosen blind by the family, from barrels aged between 6 and 9 years, the distinctive Medley mash bill of high-corn, high-barley, and low-rye packs rich baking spice, maturity and complexity, and a clean, dry finish into every glass; 250 years of bourbon-making tradition can be tasted in every bottle. This single barrel bourbon clocks in at 47% ABV, making it dangerously easy to mix with and just as tempting to sip straight. Tasting Notes: Nose: grilled peaches, brown sugar, warm chocolate. Taste: barrel spice and creme brulee with a creamy texture.

What critics and judges wrote

Distiller · Lucas Gamlin
This whiskey has a light medicinal nose … Its malty and fruity flavors are punctuated by hints of honey and pecan before fading to an exceptionally short yet oaky finish.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
