Wyoming Whiskey has launched two 10-year-old barrel strength bourbon expressions, showcasing the pinnacle of their craft. Sourced from the top barrels in their Kirby, Wyoming warehouses, these releases are bottled at barrel-proof to preserve their full-bodied flavor and complexity.
Crafted with a 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley mashbill, the two expressions -- Barrel #5540 and Barrel #5440 -- offer unique profiles. Barrel #5540, available in Wyoming, delivers notes of Demerara sugar, dark chocolate, and plum pudding. In contrast, Barrel #5440, distributed in California, Colorado, Georgia, and Florida, features rich layers of cherry cobbler, honey butter croissants, and smoky barrel char.
Each sip offers a luxurious finish with a balance of dark fruit, candied citrus, and baking spices, delivering what the distillery describes as a 'Wyoming bear hug.' these bourbons are a must-try for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
