Wilson Valley Mercantile Texas Hard Red Wheat Whiskey Review
Wilson Valley Mercantile has released its first Texas Hard Red Wheat Whiskey, and it's an interesting one. At 100 proof and just 2.41 years old, this $80 limited release offers fresh vegetal notes, subtle fruit, and a finish that builds with every sip. But is it worth picking up a bottle? Here's what I think.
Banner Distilling Wheat Whiskey Double Barrel Barrel Strength Review
This double barrel, barrel strength wheat whiskey from Banner Distilling isn’t just a big, bold pour, it’s part of the distillery’s final chapter. Clocking in at 138.7 proof and aged over eight years, this Texas wheat whiskey delivers dark cherry, wheat bread, cinnamon heat, and a thick, lingering mouthfeel that rewards slow sipping and exploration. With Banner Distilling preparing to close its doors, this release represents a rare opportunity to taste and own a true piece of Texas whiskey history.
