Wheel Horse Cigar Blend Bourbon Whiskey, aged in Sherry, Port, and Armagnac casks, is a sophisticated choice for whiskey lovers, perfect for pairing with fine cigars.
Wheel Horse Cigar Blend Bourbon Whiskey was distilled at the historic Green River Distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky. It was aged for over four years in its original oak barrels before being finished in a combination of Sherry, Port, and Armagnac casks for approximately 6 to 8 months, then bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), non-chill filtered and retails for around $40 per bottle, making it an affordable luxury for whiskey lovers.
According to Terry Lozoff, Spirits Director at Latitude Beverage, cigar blend whiskeys are a growing trend among drinkers looking for unique offerings to sip and add to their collection. The Cigar Blend Bourbon combines Armagnac-finished Bourbon as the base, complemented by a smaller amount of Sherry and Port-finished Bourbons to create a balanced, flavorful profile that pairs well with a fine cigar.
The whiskey boasts dark fruit aromas like cherry and plum, with a light tobacco undertone on the nose. On the palate, sweet brown sugar is balanced with rich coffee before revealing earthy leather and dark chocolate notes. The finish lingers with complex flavors of mulling spice and roasted almonds.
The iconic Green River Distillery was founded in 1885 and is one of the oldest distilleries in Kentucky. The Wheel Horse Cigar Blend Bourbon joins the brand’s flagship 101-proof Rye and Bourbon. With just 3,000 bottles available, this limited offering is available online in most states, along with limited availability on shelves.
