Castle & Key Wheated Small Batch #1 750mL

Five years of aging and a 99-proof bottling distinguish this Castle & Key wheated bourbon. Wheat in the grain recipe offers a useful comparison with rye-recipe bourbons, while the barrel identifier keeps this bottle distinct.

Key details

• Bourbon from Kentucky, USA
• 5 years old
• 99 proof (49.5% ABV)
• Barrel identifier 16522
• 750 mL bottle

Pairing & serving

Try with roast pork or pecan pie. Try neat at room temperature, then add a few drops of water or a large ice cube to taste. No decanting is needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
