Latitude Beverage Co. and Owensboro Distilling Company, the westernmost distillery along the famed Kentucky Bourbon Trail, are partnering together to launch the straight bourbon whiskey drink Wheel Horse Bourbon.
Aged between two and four years, the non-chill filtered Wheel Horse Bourbon is made from a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley. It is aged through the traditional sour mash method before being distilled in copper stills and matured in hand-selected, charred American oak barrels.

“It has been an honor to carry on the 135-year tradition of this historic distillery, which was recently renamed so we could better honor its storied past,” said Jacob Call, Master Distiller at Owensboro Distilling, in a prepared statement.
“We reopened for production in 2016 after being closed for more than seven decades, and Wheel Horse was one of the first national brands to show off our whiskey. We’re excited to partner with Latitude Beverage again on the release of Wheel Horse Bourbon.”
