About Amador Whiskey Co. Dbl Brl Wheat Bourbon & Chard
Amador Whiskey Co. Double Barrel Wheat Bourbon & Chardonnay is a blended wheated bourbon produced by Sutter Home Winery Inc./Trinchero Family Estates, blending Kentucky-born spirit with California flair. This high-wheated mashbill (65% corn, 20% wheat, 15% barley) is aged 3-10 years in new charred American oak barrels, then finished 6-12 months in medium-toast French oak Chardonnay barrels from Napa Valley, imparting creamy vanilla and fruity depth at 43.5% ABV (87 proof). What makes it special is the unique double-barrel process, delivering smooth sweetness with brown sugar, nuts, baking spices, caramel, butterscotch, roasted almonds, honey, and tobacco notes—mild, approachable, and wine-influenced without overpowering oak. Ideal for bourbon newcomers, casual sippers, or dessert whiskey fans seeking low-heat, easy-drinking pours. In its category, it stands out for affordability ($38.91/750ml) and California twist versus traditional Kentucky wheated bourbons like Maker's Mark, offering lighter proof and Chardonnay creaminess over rye spice, though some find it underpowered compared to higher-proof peers.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma reveals young, alcohol-forward notes with grassy hints, oak, and emerging Chardonnay influence like vanilla and fruit. Subtle floral and cinnamon spice peek through, alongside lemongrass and herbal menthol. It's light and not overly complex, best for quick whiffs rather than deep nosing.
👅 Palate
Sipping delivers a light, smooth, creamy mouthfeel with vanilla, brown sugar, over-ripe red fruits, caramel, butterscotch, and roasted almonds. Baking spices, nuts, and mild oak provide balance, with low heat making it very approachable. Chardonnay finishing adds subtle acidity and fruitiness to the sweet, full-bodied profile.
✨ Finish
The medium-length finish is mild, sweet, and satisfying with lingering spice, oak, and Chardonnay-driven creaminess. It fades gently without bitterness, leaving honeyed tobacco echoes.
