Espy House is a non-distiller producer located in Bedford, Pennsylvania. The company’s name is derived from the Espy House, which is an actual house that is best known as where George Washington stayed during the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794. The house’s present owner is Todd Eichelberger, who brought history full circle with the launch of Espy House whiskeys. In 2023, the brand launched two new whiskeys: George 1794 and Washington’s Reserve Bourbon. The brand further expanded in 2024 with an Espy House Small Batch Wheated Bourbon and Espy House Rye.

Wheated bourbons tend to be softer in stature, and Espy House Small Batch Wheated Bourbon embraces this mantra to the fullest. The entire sip is soft and gentle, starting with opening scents of light wheat grain, brown sugar, and faint classic scents of oak and vanilla. These sweeter notes carry through to the midpoint with yellow cake and faint orange marmalade laying in with white peppercorn spice and gentle oak. The mellow train arrives at its final destination with a short delivery of vanilla sugar, white peppercorn spice, and a dollop of dry oak. This is the type of bourbon that you pour for friends who aren’t used to drinking bourbon neat just yet. The wheated mashbill helps deliver a gentle sip that isn’t deep by any means, but tries its hardest not to offend either.
