McKenzie Bottled in Bond Wheated Bourbon

McKenzie Bottled in Bond Wheated Bourbon is made at Finger Lakes Distilling in Burdett, New York, on the east shore of Seneca Lake, and it is a grain-to-glass New York bourbon from start to finish. The mash bill is 70% yellow dent corn, 20% red winter wheat, and 10% two-row malted barley, all New York-grown, with wheat taking the place rye usually plays for a softer, rounder profile. The distillery draws its water from Seneca Lake aquifers, ferments in open-top fermenters for four to seven days, and distills on a 25-foot Vendome copper column still with a thumper. The spirit goes into heavy-char barrels and, as a bottled-in-bond whiskey, must come from a single distilling season, age at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and be bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). It is also non-chill filtered. The distillery's notes describe candied lemon peel over caramel, roasted peanut, green apple skin, and milk chocolate on the nose, followed by crème brûlée, poached pear, orange zest, brown sugar, and a lingering amaretto note on the palate. Sip it neat or on a large cube, or stir it into an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan.
