Fireside Wheated Bourbon Single Barrel Review
The Mile High Spirits Distillery from Denver, Colorado has crafted yet another memorable bourbon with their latest release, the 5 Year Old Fireside Wheated Bourbon Single Barrel. This bold and rich bourbon offers an intense flavor profile with the perfect amount of balance. Let’s take a closer look and see what this bourbon has to offer.
Nose
Rich caramel, barrel char, dark brown sugar, molasses, and milk chocolate are just a few of the aromas that drift out of the glass. These notes come together to create a unified and potent aroma.
Palate
This bourbon really begins to shine on the palate with its intense flavor profile. A delicious blend of molasses, dry oak, cinnamon spice, burnt caramel, and a subtle hint of stone fruit combine to create an incredibly flavorful sip.
Finish
The finish brings roasted walnuts, light tannins, and a chewy oak note that lingers on your tongue.
Uniqueness
This bourbon stands out due to its balanced and intense flavor profile. The high proof wheated bourbons are often too astringent, overly tannic, or unbalanced, but Fireside manages to avoid those missteps and delivers a truly unique and flavorful sip.
Value
As this is a limited edition release, the bottle may be harder to find, but it is worth the effort. Prices online range from $90-$110.
Overall
Fireside Wheated Bourbon is a bold and flavorful wheated bourbon that does justice to the Mile High Spirits Distillery’s name. Despite being high proof, it’s impressively balanced and offers a unique and memorable sip. It may be difficult to find, but given its reasonable price, it’s certainly worth hunting down a bottle
