DISTILLERY ONLY PICK

Single Barrel Wheat Whiskey- Laura’s Pick

115 PROOF 57.5% ALC./VOL.

Introducing Old Monroe Single Barrel Wheat Whiskey-Laura’s Pick. Available in our distillery tasting room, this is one of our personal favorites! This 115 proof 100% wheat whiskey brings notes of honey, fresh-baked bread, caramel, and a touch of sweetness. Aged for 6.5 year, our wheat whiskey’s profile is softer and a bit sweeter than other types of whiskey. Cheers!
