The brand was created by Jackson Family Wines—the family behind Kendall-Jackson—and is named after Stonestreet Farms, the Jackson family's renowned thoroughbred horse farm in Lexington, Kentucky. The use of wheat rather than rye as the secondary grain gives the bourbon a softer, creamier profile compared to traditional rye-forward recipes, and the minimum five-year aging period allows considerable oak integration while preserving the grain's natural sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted caramel and vanilla lead the nose, followed by warm baked bread and a layer of dried stone fruit.

At mid-palate, dark chocolate and stone fruit develop alongside a creamy, almost buttery texture. A measured hit of cinnamon and cayenne spice builds toward the peak, balancing the sweetness without overpowering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming, with toasted almond, mocha, and vanilla bean lingering well after the sip.

The high-wheat mashbill gives it a noticeably smooth, rounded character rather than a sharp, spicy bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Stonestreet Bourbon compare to Maker's Mark?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are wheated Kentucky bourbons, but Stonestreet carries a five-year age statement and is bottled at 90 proof compared to Maker's Mark's NAS release at 90 proof. Stonestreet's 70\/21\/9 corn-wheat-barley mashbill and extended aging tend to produce a more oak-forward, complex profile, while Maker's Mark leans lighter and fruitier with its red winter wheat recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Stonestreet Bourbon good for sipping neat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely—the 90-proof bottling strength and five years of aging create a balanced, full-bodied bourbon that rewards slow sipping.

Smoked brisket or pulled pork plays well against its oak and caramel backbone. Pecan pie mirrors the toasted nut character in the finish. Aged Gouda or Gruyère echoes the creamy, butterscotch-like sweetness. Stone fruit desserts like peach cobbler amplify the mid-palate fruit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Stonestreet Bourbon come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard release is available in a 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Stonestreet Bourbon worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stonestreet positions as a premium wheated bourbon with a stated five-year age, small-batch production, and a 94-point Wine Enthusiast rating—credentials that place it competitively among upper-shelf wheated expressions. For drinkers seeking oak complexity and a creamy mouthfeel beyond entry-level options, it represents strong value in its tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Stonestreet Bourbon?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 94-point score from Wine Enthusiast places Stonestreet among the highest-rated newcomers in the wheated bourbon category. The combination of Green River Distillery's Kentucky distilling pedigree and the Jackson family's meticulous approach to beverage production—honed over decades in premium winemaking—yields a bourbon with unusual polish for a brand's debut. The high-wheat mashbill and minimum five-year aging deliver a profile that balances dessert-like sweetness with genuine barrel depth, and the small-batch approach keeps quality tightly controlled.
