Wyoming Whiskey Private Stock Bourbon

Each of these Private Stock Single Barrel - Cask Strength selections is going to slightly differ from the next. Mine, for instance is 111 proof and I’ve now sampled 3 individual selections that were between 108-111. I also was lucky that my bottle came from a great barrel. I’ve heard that some were downright terrible however, I don’t know the barrel number, production year or any other details of those. Much like WW’s Small Batch Bourbon, I get the caramel, vanilla, black tea and some herbaceous notes. The higher proof just extends the finish and brings in a nice spicy dose of cardamom or ginger that goes forever. A few drops of water really brings out that awesome barrel char profile that Wyoming Whiskey always seems to have. If you’re a fan of Wyoming Whiskey and this is available, I say give it a shot. A private select, single cask bottle of bourbon for $45-49? Unheard of. Go for it! Barrel #1929

Trying out the Liquor King Single Barrel today... it’s a heater! Lured in with some sweetbread, and light corn delusions of grandeur thinking this would be a pleasant experience... and then you sip. Immediately get your taste buds stabbed with sharp hot spikes full of corn, spice, and grain... about two sips later, I think all my tastebuds died off. Honestly, not the worst experience I’ve had with full proof private barrel bourbon. Will try again in a few days and add some water to see how it opens up. But an interesting approach to my palate for sure. My lesser developed friends will try this and curse me for having such a thing... but I see some potential promise in this thing. I’m not done with you yet Wyoming!

A&B Store Pick at 107 proof. Haven't heard great things about this one, but the store picks are pretty good at A&B so we will give it a whirl. Nose is nice of sweet corn and brown sugar. Taste defintely brings some young ethanol heat which isn't terribly pleasant. Flavor is pretty strong though of dried fruit and molasses. Overall this one needs some more barrel time, but defintely has the bones to be a nice mash after some aging. Interested to see what WW produces when they hit 10 years. Not a drain pour by any means, but probably not something I would seek out again. They also make a double barrel that I might sample to see if the extra barrelling helps soften the burn.

This is a real wheater, high proof xplosive taste. Vintage Bottle Shop store pick.116.8 proof Absolutely delicious. If you like wheated bourbon and haven’t tried Wyoming you are missing out. I have three different types love them all. Can’t wait to see what they do in the future.

Nice front notes of tobacco and leather with a pleasant heat that comes in and builds quickly to the mid notes. From there it takes off gently. Not a complex flavor profile but still quite pleasant. Would not recommend this one over the rocks, this is better taken neat.

Mine is bottled for state of Ohio. Honestly tastes like you’re walking through a greenhouse and as you pass by the workers smack you in the mouth with stalks of flowers. Very earthy. Hints of caramel sneak in through the mouthfuls of grass.
