Founded in 2016, the distillery takes its name from a Civil War battle in which soldiers raiding a wagon wheel supply line discovered some of the wagon’s stocked whiskey. I’m guessing the winning side has a pretty good victory celebration. Regarding Wheeler’s Raid whiskey itself, this particular release was finished with medium toast French oak staves. The resulting whiskey is not overly saturated with French oak notes, but instead features a pleasing array of dark fruit flavors. A touch of dry oak on the finish adds dimension but a light tannic graininess keeps this whiskey from reaching its full potential. Yet its persuasive fruitiness and lingering black cherry note in the finish make for a rather charming sip overall.
