The recipe is 73% white corn, 10% white wheat, and 17% malted barley, and that white corn is the house signature: softer and more delicate in sweetness than yellow corn, which is why Castle \u0026amp; Key favors it across the range. The bourbon comes off the still at 135 proof and enters the barrel at an unusually low 107 — the old-school approach for wheated whiskey, which pulls more sugar and less harsh tannin from the #4 char new American oak — then ages in Warehouse B, the longest aging warehouse in the world, a surviving relic of Colonel E.H. Taylor's original 1887 Old Taylor Distillery that Castle \u0026amp; Key restored after its founding in 2014. Batches are blended from \"pods,\" groups of barrels selected for a specific sensory profile. Expect oatmeal raisin cookie, vanilla frosting, baked peach, candied pear, orange peel, lilac, and soft cinnamon on the nose, opening into a rounder, creamier palate than the distillery's rye-recipe bourbon, finishing warm with honey and toasted oak. Fair note: at just 10% wheat it's subtler than Weller or Maker's — think gentle rather than pillowy. Priced around $60 for cask strength, seven-year Kentucky bourbon, that's a genuine value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Castle \u0026amp; Key Small Batch Wheated Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49741543276800,"sku":"C0010274L","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/CastleandKeyWheatedCask.jpg?v=1789798153","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/castle-key-small-batch-wheated-cask-strength-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
