Monk’s Road Wheated Bourbon and a Bespoke Kentucky Bourbon Trail Experience

In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we crack into the tail end of our bottle of Monk’s Road Wheated Bourbon — a 94-proof gem from Log Still Distillery with a distinctive nostalgic charm.

We discuss:

• 🌾 What makes wheated bourbon different (and gentler)

• ✍️ Our surprising shared history with calligraphy (seriously)

• 📚 Tasting notes of “caramel-coated old bookstore” and wheat field memories

• 🏭 Thoughts on distillery tours, including Log Still and Maker’s Mark

• 🍂 Why this one's been a slow-sipper over the years — until now

Equal parts story, flavour, and fun.
