Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whiskey is a distinctive expression born from the rich soils of Kentucky and crafted with dedication on the historic grounds of Maker’s Mark's homeplace. Made primarily from soft red winter wheat grown on the distillery’s very own Star Hill Farm, this whiskey reflects a deep commitment to terroir, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Aged in new charred American oak barrels, this wheat-forward whiskey offers a smoother, more rounded profile compared to traditional bourbons, making it a compelling choice for both newcomers and seasoned whiskey drinkers seeking a softer, nuanced experience.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Gentle and inviting aromas of honeyed wheat, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and a touch of orchard fruit, like pear and red apple.

• Palate: Silky and mellow, with layers of creamy caramel, baking spices (cinnamon and clove), and a warm wheat biscuit quality. Hints of toasted almond and subtle dried apricot round out the mid-palate.

• Finish: Smooth and lingering, with sweet oak and a faint peppery spice that gently fades, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and finesse.

This American Wheat Whiskey is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its soft, complex layers, though it also makes a refined twist in classic whiskey cocktails.
