WHEEL HORSE WHISKEY LAUNCHES BARREL MASTER SELECT SERIES WITH 5-YEAR BARREL PROOF BOURBON

This is the Brand's First Barrel Proof Small Batch Whiskey

BOSTON, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wheel Horse Whiskey, distilled and matured at the historic Green River Distilling in Owensboro, Kentucky, has unveiled its Barrel Master Select series—the brand's first foray into barrel proof small batch whiskey. The inaugural release is a 5-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at 112.6 proof, and available in a limited run of just 2,100 bottles. SRP: $39.99.

Crafted by Barrel Master Stephen Corrigan, Batch 1 is a blend of twelve hand-selected barrels of 5–6-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Bottled without chill filtration, the whiskey retains its full character and complexity, delivering a robust and flavorful sip.

"When we launched Wheel Horse in 2019 as a 101 proof brand, we set out to craft a whiskey that was bold, approachable, and versatile," says Corrigan. "We still love the 101 proof point, but there's something undeniably exciting about uncut whiskey. With Barrel Master Select, we get to present our whiskey in its purest form, and each release will reflect the character of the barrels that make it shine."

Batch 1 offers a rich and expressive profile. On the nose, aromas of cherry, mocha, and warm spice fill the glass. The palate delivers decadent notes of toffee, vanilla, and café au lait, before unfolding into a warm, lingering finish of toasted walnut, burnt sugar, and Black Forest cake.

Barrel Master Select Batch 1 is now available online nationally and in limited quantities in select markets. Future Barrel Master Select releases will include additional barrel proof offerings, including a Kentucky Straight Rye, expected this fall.
