Wheat whiskey
Wheat whiskey is a style of
grain bill which consists primarily of wheat. The United States government only allows a product to be labeled "wheat whiskey" when the mash is composed of at least 51% wheat.[1] Like other American styles, a wheat whiskey may be labelled as a "straight" if it is aged for at least two years in new, charred oak barrels. As of 2022, only a handful of straight wheat whiskey are mass marketed, including Bernheim Original,[2] Middle West,[3] Old Elk,[4]
and Dry
Fly.[5] Some microdistilleries are in production of wheat whiskeys, but are made on a small scale.[6][7]
There are many examples of wheat whiskeys in the German whisky industry.[8]
While not true wheat whiskeys, some
Rebel Yell, and W. L. Weller
