Process & Profile
The Castle & Key Cask Strength Wheated Bourbon Batch 1 (2025 Release) marks the long-awaited debut of the distillery’s first wheated bourbon bottled at full barrel strength. Distilled, aged, and bottled at the historic Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this small-batch expression captures the brand’s dedication to balance, precision, and tradition.
Made from a mash bill of 73% white corn, 17% malted barley, and 10% white winter wheat, this bourbon replaces rye with wheat to create a softer, creamier mouthfeel.
