About Middle West Spirits Michelone Reserve Bourbon
Middle West Spirits Michelone Reserve Bourbon is a straight wheated bourbon from Columbus, Ohio, bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV) and crafted with a unique four-grain mashbill of sweet yellow corn, soft red winter wheat, dark pumpernickel rye, and two-row barley. What makes it special is its bold yet balanced profile, blending wheated softness with rye's spice and barley's maltiness, delivering rich flavors like creamy vanilla, ripe fruit, charred oak, and dark chocolate in a smooth, high-proof sip. Ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking craft innovation beyond traditional Kentucky profiles, it's perfect for sipping neat or in cocktails, offering complexity at an accessible $39.75 for 750ml. Compared to standard bourbons, it stands out with its bread-like wheat richness, floral honeysuckle notes, and subtle smoke, providing a bigger, brighter character than many peers while remaining elegantly balanced and versatile.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose opens gently with ripe stone fruit, creamy vanilla, and brown sugar, complemented by maple, hazelnut, and a touch of smoke. Subtle charred oak and white pepper spiciness balance the sweetness, while floral honeysuckle and creme brulee notes from the unique grains add depth. Ripe dates and cherries evoke a fruity, inviting aroma.
👅 Palate
On the palate, it's dry yet rich, bursting with peppery spice, creamy vanilla, toasted walnut, and dried apricot. Dark chocolate, coffee with cream, and oak envelop the mouth smoothly despite the proof, with floral honeysuckle and cola syrup building intrigue. The medium mouthfeel is silky, blending sweet corn, butterscotch, and subtle grain for a bold, balanced chew.
✨ Finish
The medium-long finish tingles with lingering pepper, creamy vanilla, oak, and dark fruit, fading into chocolate and baking spices. A cool burn with cola effervescence and mild bitterness provides a satisfying, coating close.
