What is a wheated bourbon?

Wheated bourbon is a type of bourbon whiskey that is made with a higher proportion of wheat in the mash bill, as opposed to the more traditional corn-heavy mash bill. This results in a whiskey that is generally smoother, sweeter, and less spicy compared to bourbons made with a higher percentage of corn or rye.

Some well-known wheated bourbons include Maker's Mark, W.L. Weller, and Pappy Van Winkle. These bourbons are often prized for their soft, mellow flavors and rich, creamy mouthfeel. Wheated bourbons can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
