Distillery Heritage: Buffalo Trace Distillery, founded in 1792, is one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States. It has a long history of producing high-quality spirits, including bourbon, rye whiskey, and vodka. The distillery is recognized worldwide for its commitment to tradition and innovation, earning multiple accolades over the years. Wheatley Vodka was created to expand Buffalo Trace’s portfolio beyond whiskey, bringing the same craftsmanship and dedication to the world of vodka.

Creation of Wheatley Vodka: Wheatley Vodka was launched as a tribute to Harlen Wheatley, the Master Distiller at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Known for his expertise and innovative approach, Harlen set out to create a vodka that would stand apart from the rest by emphasizing purity, smoothness, and flavor. He developed a recipe using red winter wheat and a meticulous distillation process that ensures exceptional quality.

Unique Production Process:

Base Ingredient: The vodka is made from a blend of corn and red winter wheat, known for its soft, sweet character. The use of wheat gives the vodka a distinctive smoothness and subtle sweetness that differentiates it from many other vodkas

Distillation: Wheatley Vodka is distilled a total of ten times using a unique micro-still. This extensive distillation process ensures an ultra-clean and refined spirit, stripping away impurities while preserving the delicate flavor profile.

Filtration: The vodka is then filtered three times through a combination of filtration methods to achieve maximum purity and clarity.

Proofing: Finally, it is proofed down to 82 proof (41% ABV) using pure Kentucky limestone water, which adds a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and enhances the vodka's subtle flavors.

Flavor Profile: Wheatley Vodka is characterized by its clean, crisp taste with a touch of natural sweetness from the wheat. It has a soft, round mouthfeel with a smooth, refined finish. Notes of vanilla, soft citrus, and a hint of fresh bread dough make it versatile for both sipping and mixing in cocktails.

Versatility in Cocktails: Wheatley Vodka is celebrated for its versatility, making it a favorite among mixologists and cocktail enthusiasts. Its smoothness and light flavor make it ideal for classic cocktails such as a Martini, Moscow Mule, or Vodka Tonic, while its clean finish allows it to shine in more complex, contemporary recipes.
