A Century in the Making
Wheel Horse is crafted and matured at the historic Owensboro Distilling Company in Owensboro, Kentucky. As the 10th oldest permitted distillery in the state, ODC has a rich history that dates back to the late 1800s. Now, the distillery continues its legacy of making excellent whiskey under the direction of Master Distiller Jacob Call.
This sour mash, small batch whiskey is made from 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% malted barley. It's distilled in copper stills then matured in hand-selected, 53-gallon, charred American oak barrels for between two and four years. We use a #4 char. Like all of our small batch whiskeys, Wheel Horse Bourbon is bottled at 101 proof and without chill filtration.
