Experience one of the most sought-after bourbon-style profiles with our Ultra-Premium Wheated Bourbon Mash Bill Kit, inspired by the traditional wheated mash bill style commonly associated with highly aged Kentucky bourbons in the Pappy Van Winkle® category.

This grain bill replaces rye with wheat, creating a softer, sweeter, and more rounded whiskey character. The result is a spirit profile known for its smooth mouthfeel, deep caramel sweetness, and long, warm finish with gentle oak influence.

Built for enthusiasts who appreciate refined bourbon character, this kit combines premium corn for sweetness and body, soft wheat for smoothness, and malted barley for balance and fermentation support. The included enzymes help improve starch conversion efficiency and consistency across different setups, making the process more predictable for experienced grain users.

To support aging development, this kit includes charred American oak designed to enhance complexity over time. When properly aged, this style develops layered notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, honey, and baking spice, producing a rich and luxurious bourbon-style profile.

This kit is designed for hobbyists seeking a high-end wheated bourbon experience with a focus on smoothness, depth, and long aging potential.
