If it's less than 51% corn, it's no longer legally considered bourbon - just a rye or wheat whiskey.
Rye does tend to add a spicier note, whether you're talking a bourbon with rye in the grain bill, or an all-up rye whiskey. |

What are the main differences between a wheat bourbon and a rye bourbon? I can really only tell that the heavy rye bourbons are spicy. For me, I tend to note the spicier kick in ryes. But, I have not had much experience outside of Whistle Pig and Templeton. I don't dislike them, but they are never my first choice, when I want something to drink. But, I have friends who go through WP like water. |

I love wheaters, problem is - buffalo trace is really the only company to ever make a good one in recent memory and can also keep pumping them out ala the Weller line. Second problem is; they're so damn popular

Just opened my first bottle of Weller Special Reserve tonight. Now I need to look for some aged Weller.

There's a fair number of wheated bourbon and wheat whiskey available. Goggle will help you there. I'm very fond of them. Wheat seems to mellow out the harshness of rye in bourbons. Also it seem to increase the friut and dark sweet expressions on the palate. Most wheat bourbon seem to have a creamer mouth feel. Marker's Mark is the most famous (if you will) wheat bourbon. Their Cask Strength bourbon is excellent. If you happen upon a bottle of Weller 12...BUY IT!

Added a few drops of water and it calmed down a bit. Maybe try an ice cube it next time. |

Yea, Maker's Cast Strength is strong. A little water will help with the burn but changes the flavor profile. What I do is let is rest in the glass for about 10 or 20 minutes. Helps if it's chilled too. FYI, it gets better in the bottle over time. Oxidation thing I guess.
