Hidden Barn Organic Wheated Bourbon Whiskey Review
Distilled by Michigan’s Journeyman Distillery and bottled by Kentucky-based independent bottler Hidden Barn, this 6-year-old bourbon is a nine-barrel small-scale release that was selected, batched, and proofed by Jackie Zykan, VinePair’s 2022 Next Wave Awards Master Blender of the Year. Tart green apples blend with salted caramel on the nose, with prominent white pepper providing a fiery juxtaposition on the palate. Cedar wood and pipe tobacco define the finish, completing what is a pleasurable roller coaster that evolves with each visit to the glass.
