In a quest to strip away brand bias and marketing hype, the hosts of the Bourbon Lens podcast recently conducted a blind tasting of five premier wheated bourbons. This blind evaluation highlights how sensory-focused tasting can reveal surprising truths about even the most legendary bottles on the shelf.
The high-stakes lineup featured a diverse range of proofs and profiles, including:
- Old Fitzgerald 7-Year
- Weller Antique 107
- Maker’s Mark 101
- Bardstown Bourbon Co. High Wheat
- Green River Full Proof
How did we rank these? Which bottle took last place for both of us? Find out on the full epsiode streaming everywhere now!
