Wyoming Whiskey’s Thrilled To Release A New Wyoming Bourbon

Wyoming born, and Wyoming made.

That's what you get with Wyoming Whiskey, and the latest release from Wyoming's first legal distillery is a tip of the hat to Wyoming's historic Independence Rock.

Wyoming Whiskey's new product is a Wyoming-exclusive bourbon that honors the rich history of the pioneers who passed through Wyoming on their way west.

The bourbon is a limited-edition called Independence Rock, which was released to celebrate the history of the pioneers who celebrated the 4th of July at the Rock and the anniversary of Wyoming Whiskey's first release on July 4, 2009.

Independence Rock is made from grains farmed in Wyoming soil, distilled in Kirby by traditional means and created with select barrels from Wyoming Whiskey rickhouses. Independence Rock is more than a bourbon; it is a celebration that reverberates with the enduring heartbeat of our nation’s heritage.

 

Independence Rock tasting notes:

Nose: Shaved milk chocolate covered in orange syrup and a dollop of cherry compote

Palate: Orange sponge cake drizzled with caramel, complemented by chocolate and cracked espresso bean

Finish: Smooth and round, with soft baking spices complemented by notes of dried cherry

Independence Rock is made from a mash of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. It has an ABV of 49% and is 98 proof. The SRP is US$79.99. Independence Rock is available now, exclusively in Wyoming.

Wyoming Whiskey has been a favorite of mine for years, and every Wyoming-themed release they have makes me an even bigger fan.
