Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bottled in Bond (91)

This heated bourbon is a bottled in bond bourbon, meaning that it has to be 100 proof (50%). The nose goes from a sweet wheat to a sweet oak. It’s soft and approachable. Initially bitter, but not off-putting. Cherries, which I get on a lot of wheated bourbons. Instantly reminds me of a bagel and some sort of sweet jelly or jam. This bottle could be mass appealing, especially with those who enjoy wheated bourbons. I would be interested in blinding this against Green River Wheated Bourbon, Weller Special Reserve, and Maker’s Mark 101. To me this leans more towards Green River’s product than Maker’s Mark.
