This was Heaven Hill's entry-level wheated bourbon a few years back. It's been discontinued. I tasted this at the Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting # 55 - Dusty Bourbons. Rumor has it that Julian Van Winkle refused to bottle this whiskey at such a low ABV; but, Julian Jr. decided to make it after his father passed away. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
