Part of Heaven Hill's Trybox Series, this expression captures the distillery's wheated whiskey recipe at its most elemental — straight off the still and into the bottle, entirely bypassing barrel maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 62.5% (125 proof)  |  Origin: Bardstown, Kentucky, USA  |  Unaged New Make  |  Distillery: Heaven Hill Distilleries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeaven Hill Distilleries, headquartered in Bardstown, Kentucky, stands as the largest independent, family-owned American whiskey producer and the only American whiskey distillery that produces bourbon, rye, corn, and wheat whiskeys under one roof. The Trybox Series takes its name from the copper-and-glass tasting station positioned where fresh distillate flows off the still — the point where distillers evaluate spirit before it enters a barrel. This wheated recipe expression uses a mashbill built on corn as the primary grain, with wheat as the secondary flavoring grain and malted barley rounding out the bill. It is bottled at the traditional barrel entry proof of 125, giving drinkers a window into what Heaven Hill's wheated whiskey tastes like before years of charred oak interaction shape it into a mature spirit.\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 Raw cereal grain and fresh corn dominate on the nose, followed by a gentle sweetness and a faint floral quality contributed by the wheat component. There is a noticeable ethanol presence given the high proof, but it carries a cleaner, softer edge than many new make spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate opens with pronounced sweet corn and doughy grain, quickly giving way to the softer, rounder mouthfeel that wheat imparts. At mid-palate, subtle notes of fresh bread and light honey emerge, with a mild peppery warmth from the proof. The overall texture is noticeably smoother than a rye-based new make, reflecting wheat's moderating influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is medium in length, carrying residual grain sweetness and a warming, slightly dry quality. A faint mineral note lingers alongside clean cereal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eHow to Drink Trybox Wheated\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven its 125 proof intensity, a splash of water opens the grain character and tempers the heat, making it the recommended starting point for neat exploration. This new make also serves as a bold, grain-forward base spirit in cocktails. In a \u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey Sour\u003c\/strong\u003e, the sweet corn backbone balances citrus without requiring heavy sweetener. A \u003cstrong\u003eWhite Manhattan\u003c\/strong\u003e (substituting dry vermouth and orange bitters) highlights the wheat's soft, rounded quality. In a simple \u003cstrong\u003eHighball\u003c\/strong\u003e with quality soda water, the unaged grain character comes through cleanly, offering a refreshing alternative to aged whiskey serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eBest For\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhiskey enthusiasts studying the impact of barrel aging by tasting spirit before and after maturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome bartenders seeking an authentic American grain spirit for craft cocktail experimentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBourbon lovers curious about Heaven Hill's wheated mashbill in its raw, unaged form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducational tastings comparing wheated, rye, and bourbon new make profiles side by side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Trybox Wheated taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e It delivers pronounced sweet corn and soft bread-dough grain flavors with a smoother, rounder mouthfeel than rye-based new make whiskeys, finishing with moderate warmth and clean cereal sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Trybox Wheated compare to Buffalo Trace White Dog Wheated Mash?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are unaged wheated whiskeys, but Trybox Wheated is bottled at a higher 125 proof (62.5% ABV) compared to Buffalo Trace White Dog Wheated Mash at 114 proof (57% ABV).

Heaven Hill's distinction as the only American whiskey producer distilling bourbon, rye, corn, and wheat whiskeys under one roof gives the Trybox Series an authority that smaller craft operations cannot easily replicate. The decision to bottle at the full 125-proof barrel entry strength preserves the distillate exactly as Heaven Hill's master distillers evaluate it at the trybox, offering an unvarnished look at the raw material that, after years in charred oak, becomes the foundation of the distillery's acclaimed wheated bourbon lineup. For anyone seeking to understand what wheat contributes to a whiskey's character — before oak, time, and evaporation have their say — this bottling is one of the most direct and honest answers available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trybox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836983373993,"sku":"24803","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/trybox_new_make_wheated_recipe_whiskey__43251.jpg?v=1730475757","url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/products\/trybox-new-make-wheated-recipe-whiskey-750ml","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
