In their W. L. Weller line, the Buffalo Trace distillery has created a wheated bourbon - the grains are all corn and wheat, no rye at all.
The result is a bold, full flavoured whiskey that takes over your mouth and sinuses. Sweet orange and bitter oak dominate the experience.
I recommend it with a splash of water - I find it a touch too sweet otherwise.
