Washington, PA - Liberty Pole Spirits, Western Pennsylvania’s premier grain-to-glass whiskey distillery, is proud to announce the upcoming release of its first-ever Double Oaked Wheated Bourbon, arriving December 20, 2025.

This inaugural double-oaked expression begins with Liberty Pole’s core Straight Wheated Bourbon, crafted from Pennsylvania-grown grains, including the distillery’s signature Bloody Butcher heirloom corn, sweet-mashed and double pot distilled. The whiskey was aged 3.5 years in its original barrels before being transferred into a second set of brand-new finishing barrels featuring a combination of heavy toast with light and medium char levels. This secondary maturation lasted 11 additional months.

The resulting bourbon is rich, layered, and indulgent, showcasing the soft, rounded character of a wheated mash bill elevated by the deep, earthy sweetness of Bloody Butcher corn and the intensified structure of the second oak treatment. Expect notes of toasted vanilla, caramelized sugar, baking spice, and a long, silky finish shaped by nearly five years in wood.

“Our Double Oaked Wheated Bourbon reflects the craftsmanship and patience our family brings to every whiskey we make,” said Jim Hough, co-founder of Liberty Pole Spirits. “The heirloom corn, the time in those original barrels, and the extended secondary aging all came together to create something truly special.”

This limited release will be available exclusively at the Liberty Pole Spirits distillery, bottled at barrel strength and priced at $74 per bottle.
