It’s Day 11 of Bourbon Heritage Month and it’s time to drink some Wheated Bourbon. If you are fan of Wheated Bourbon and haven’t tried Wyoming Whiskey, then you are missing out. Every year, they pay homage to the different National Parks across the United States with a very special release whiskey release. Last year’s National Parks No. 3 won out in a blind tasting among some really strong whiskeys. If you want to see my thoughts, you can find it here. So, how will National Parks No. 4 stack up? Let’s dive in!

Wyoming Whiskey National Parks No.4 – Jake’s Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose is very well balanced, with sweet yet astringent notes. When diving in, I initially get a lot of caramel and apple. As it continues to open up, there are more fall flavors; cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. I also find an underlying citrus note which makes the nose come together more fully.
Palate: First thoughts on the palate is that irbid whiskey drinks higher than its proof. The pour is also more astringent than I expected based on the nose. As the pour opens up, (much like the nose) it is fall in a glass. Toasted spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by honey and milk chocolate. The dram is slightly thin on the palate but is packed with flavor.
Finish: The finish is lingering with honey and chocolate and just a hint of the baking spices.
Closing Thoughts
While I no longer have any of National Parks No. 3 for a side-by-side comparison, I think National Parks No. 4 is even better. If you are looking for a good gift this holiday season, don’t delay. Pick up this brand new bottle for your favorite bourbon drinker.
