Wheeling, Illinois
Straight bourbon whiskey
Every grain has a job.
Corn, wheat, rye and malted barley. Soft wheat up front, a kick of rye on the way out, and 100 proof to stand up in a cocktail.
Four Grain combines the four major grains of American whiskey: corn, wheat, rye and malted barley. Each contributes to the balance: familiar bourbon sweetness, a softer wheat character and a rye-spice finish.
Corn carries the familiar sweetness of bourbon. Wheat brings a silky mouthfeel and a gentle sweetness of its own. Rye adds the spice and the finishing kick. Malted barley rounds the whole thing out and gives the grain character a little more depth.
Four Grain is bottled at 100 proof to stand up in cocktails. The combination of wheat sweetness and rye spice gives it a clear presence alongside sugar, bitters and ice, while remaining approachable as a neat pour.
Enjoy it neat to explore that sweetness and spice. The supplied Whisky Advocate review describes a silky mouthfeel and notes that water helps bring the flavors together.
Whisky Advocate scored Four Grain 88 points. Their tasting found berries, oatmeal and vanilla on the nose with an earthy, woodsy edge; grain, drying oak, orange, cinnamon and chocolate on the palate; and citrus, cinnamon and espresso on the finish, with water bringing the flavors together and a silky mouthfeel forward.

In the glass
Berries and oatmeal, vanilla, and an earthy edge.
Grain and drying oak with orange, cinnamon and chocolate.
Citrus, cinnamon and espresso. A little water brings it together.
Start neat to find the wheat up front and the rye at the end. Then make an Old Fashioned. That is what the proof is for.

Whisky Advocate review
“youthful but balanced”
The nose has berries in steel-cut oatmeal, bracing vanilla, bubble gum, strawberry Fanta, and yet also rugged earthiness: a picnic in a pine forest. On the palate, the grain is evident, but so too is drying oak, orange, cinnamon, and chocolate. Water helps integrate the flavors and enhance the silky mouthfeel, tying in Orange Crush, cinnamon, and espresso on the finish. At 2 years old, this bourbon is youthful but balanced, a well-constructed iteration of the four-grain (corn, wheat, rye, malted barley) motif.
The two-year age statement refers to the bottling reviewed by Whisky Advocate.
