Wyoming Whiskey Double Cask Bourbon Whiskey

The Bottle

Wyoming Whiskey Double Cask is a premium, limited-release wheated bourbon crafted for drinkers seeking depth and complexity. The spirit begins as Wyoming Whiskey’s flagship straight bourbon, aged for five years in new charred American oak barrels. It then undergoes a secondary maturation in decades-old Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. Bottled at a robust 100 proof (50% ABV), this double-cask finishing process layers rich dried fruit, fig, and dark raisin notes over a buttery vanilla core without sacrificing the base whiskey's structural strength.

The Distillery

Located in Kirby, Wyoming—a tiny town in the Big Horn Basin—Wyoming Whiskey was founded in 2006 with a mission to craft world-class bourbon using 100% regional ingredients. Founders Brad and Kate Mead and David DeFazio built their distilling process alongside industry legend Steve Nally, former Master Distiller at Maker's Mark. Every bottle utilizes non-GMO corn, wheat, and malted barley from local Wyoming farms and pure water drawn from a deep underground limestone aquifer. Sitting at 4,400 feet of elevation, Kirby's severe daily temperature swings drive the whiskey deep into the wood, delivering a distinct Rocky Mountain maturation profile.
