Our Four Grain Bourbon is crafted from non-GMO yellow corn, soft red winter wheat, two-row barley and dark pumpernickel rye. Rye and wheat are not commonly used together in bourbons because they can be difficult flavors to balance. Middle West’s unique use of dark pumpernickel rye brings a soft spiciness that balances well with the baking spice essence of the wheat for a nice finish without overwhelming the caramel notes from corn. Aromas of caramel, toffee, and smoked butterscotch / leather, light oak, butterscotch, light smoke / Medium smoked and spiced finish
