About Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof
Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof is a 6-year-old straight bourbon from McCormick Distilling Company's Holladay Distillery in Weston, Missouri. Bottled at full barrel proof (120 proof), this uncut and unfiltered expression features a mash bill of 73% corn, 15% soft red wheat, and 12% malted barley. The soft red wheat substitution replaces the rye typically found in Holladay's original recipe, resulting in a softer, sweeter profile than traditional rye-based bourbons. This rickhouse proof version delivers robust stone fruit, oak, and molasses notes with enhanced complexity compared to lower-proof releases. It appeals to bourbon enthusiasts seeking full-proof, unadulterated flavor and those who appreciate wheated bourbons with significant oak character and spice.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose opens with sweet toffee and brown sugar, complemented by vanilla and notable oak character. Stone fruit notes like red apples are present but subtle at this proof, with tannins and caramel taking prominence. The aroma is well-developed and complex for a 6-year bourbon.
👅 Palate
The palate showcases amplified stone fruit notes alongside molasses, leather, and baking spices. Enhanced seasoned oak and oak tannins create a noticeably dry and bitter character that balances the robust fruit profile. The higher proof intensifies all flavor components while maintaining a smooth delivery.
✨ Finish
The finish is long and lingering, dominated by dark red fruit, dry seasoned oak, and black pepper. The oak tannins persist, creating a warming, spiced conclusion that reflects the bourbon's full-proof intensity.
