Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch

Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch Bourbon is a rugged, grain-to-glass testament to the American West. Standing out in a market heavily dominated by traditional Southern mash bills, this wheated bourbon offers a distinctively smooth and complex profile designed for whiskey lovers who want an exceptional, authentic bottle at an honest price. Bottled at 88 proof as a clever nod to Wyoming's status as the 44th state, this flagship release is aged for a minimum of five years in full-sized, 53-gallon charred oak barrels. Its unique character comes straight from its environment: 100% non-GMO grains grown within 100 miles of the facility and pristine water sourced from a mile-deep, prehistoric limestone aquifer.

The magic happens at the Wyoming Whiskey Distillery in Kirby, Wyoming. Founded in 2009 by Brad and Kate Mead alongside David DeFazio, the distillery made waves by bringing in industry legend Steve Nally—former Master Distiller for Maker’s Mark—to orchestrate their initial operations. Situated at a high altitude in the Big Horn Basin, the distillery’s multi-story rickhouses endure intense annual temperature swings of up to 115°F. This extreme frontier climate forces the barrels to "breathe" aggressively, accelerating flavor extraction and imbuing the bourbon with deep, mature notes of caramel, baking spice, and vanilla that you won't find anywhere else.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Inviting and floral, featuring prominent notes of vanilla bean, caramel pudding, and fresh-baked bread.

  • Palate: Rich, smooth, and full-bodied. Initial layers of sweet cornbread and browned butter transition into warm baking spices, vanilla cream, and a hint of cinnamon.

  • Finish: Medium-long with a clean fade of toffee, light oak tannins, and a lingering, spicy warmth.
