Here’s why Fear and Loathing Wheated Bourbon deserves a place in your 30 Days of Bourbon Challenge:
- The Story: Inspired by the rebellious spirit of Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing Wheated Bourbon is designed to be anything but ordinary. Crafted from a mash bill featuring wheat instead of rye, it blends 4- to 6-year-old barrels into a bold pour that delivers balance with a streak of wildness. Much like its namesake, it’s memorable, unapologetic, and never boring.
- Tasting Notes: On the nose, you’ll find caramel and vanilla layered with sweet cream, raisins, and a touch of oak. The palate offers cinnamon sugar meets candied raisin, backed by port-like fruit and gentle spice. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of cherry syrup, warm leather, and a steady wave of cinnamon.
