"A high-wheat bourbon of this level, like the Bardstown Bourbon Origin High Wheat Bourbon, is always interesting to try. It is well-balanced, offers solid tasting, and is a good bourbon overall." - The Whiskey Wash

"A sweet, flavorful bourbon that’s a welcome addition to Bardstown Bourbon Company’s core lineup of in-house distilled Origin Series expressions." - Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon (Above Average)

"The most successful Origin Series yet, to me. Caramel and tree/orchard fruit on a super creamy texture and with a wonderful mouthfeel. I’ve been leaning away from wheated bourbons for a while, but this would be an exception for a great everyday drinker." David Levine, Whiskey in my Wedding Ring

"I am not typically a fan of high wheat bourbon…but Bardstown has changed my mind!" - Bourbon Bossman

"I have enjoyed all of the whiskeys in Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Origin Series, and the High Wheat Bourbon is no exception. If these full flavors sound interesting to you, then give this heavily wheated bourbon a try! Cheers!" - Ed, Bourbon Obsessed

"At just six years old, it’s an impressively built bourbon, and while it may not be the most complex Origin Series release, the body and mouthfeel are unrivaled. A joy to sip and savor, and a solid addition to the Origin Series family." - Drew Beard, Drinkhacker (90 Points)

"Aromas of lemon cream, confectioners’ sugar, bananas Foster, and orange blossom rise from the glass, delivering an inviting and fragrant nose. The palate is gentle and soft, showing more bake shop and fruity dessert flavors. As the whiskey develops, chocolate muffins, raisin bread, and bright citrus flavors rise to the fore. The finish is gentle and long-lasting with cocoa powder, lightly toasted oak, and vanilla malt." - Shane English, Whisky Advocate (89 Points)

"Fresh-baked whole wheat baguette leads on the nose, along with caramel chews and creamed corn. The palate is rich, with cinnamon and sugar donuts, and chocolate syrup, and then spicy with black pepper and cloves. On the finish find barrel char, candied orange peels, vanilla cream soda, and a bit of cigar smoke and leather." - Jake Emen, Distiller (89 Points)
