Double Oak 5-Year Bourbon joins the Wheel Horse Whiskey family from Green River Distilling in\u00a0Owensboro, Kentucky<\/p>\n
Wheel Horse Whiskey<\/a>, distilled and matured at the historic Green River Distilling in\u00a0Owensboro, Kentucky<\/span>, announced the release of their new Double Oak 5-Year Bourbon today.<\/p>\n With just 2,100 bottles produced, this Double Oak 5-Year Bourbon joins the Wheel Horse Whiskey family of limited edition, seasonal whiskeys.<\/p>\n The new Wheel Horse Double Oak is the first five-year expression from the brand.<\/p>\n After aging over four years in its original charred oak casks, the whiskey was transferred to new charred oak barrels to finish aging, giving the Double Oak Bourbon a rich, oak-forward flavor.<\/p>\n Like all Wheel Horse small batch whiskeys, Double Oak Bourbon is bottled at 101 proof, non-chill filtered. The SRP is\u00a0$34.99<\/span>.<\/p>\n “Double oak Bourbons have gained in popularity over the last few years,”<\/p>\n Stephen Corrigan<\/span><\/p>\n Barrel Master of Wheel Horse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “Our goal when crafting Wheel Horse Double Oak was to complement the underlying cherry note of the whiskey with bold flavors of raw sugar and cocoa. To achieve this, we hand selected a group of new Char 1 barrels whose staves had gone through extended air seasoning. After a little more than 6 months finishing in these casks, the end result is complex and balanced, and something that we can’t wait for others to enjoy.”<\/p>\n On the nose, the whiskey is rich with aromas of chocolate-dipped toffee and pound cake. Once sipped, sweeter flavors of demerara sugar and vanilla custard appear before revealing notes of dried cherries and cocoa. The finish lingers, offering hints of chocolate cake and pipe tobacco, with brown sugar aromas.<\/p>\n Wheel Horse whiskeys are crafted at the iconic Green River Distillery, which was founded in 1885 and stands as one of the oldest distilleries in\u00a0Kentucky<\/span>\u00a0along the westernmost point of the renowned Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The new Double Oak Bourbon Winter 2024 release joins the brand’s family of limited edition whiskeys, which this year have also included Cigar Blend Bourbon (Fall), Rye Whiskey finished in Caribbean Rum barrels (Summer) and Toasted Barrel Bourbon (Spring).<\/p>\n Wheel Horse Double Oak 5-Year Bourbon is available for purchase online nationally, along with limited availability on shelves in select markets.<\/p>\n For more information and to purchase online visit\u00a0www.wheelhorsewhiskey.com<\/a>\u00a0and follow\u00a0@wheelhorsewhiskey<\/a><\/u>\u00a0on Instagram.<\/p>\n About Wheel Horse Whiskey\u00a0
