Wyoming Whiskey takes its namesake to heart, as this isn’t just a whiskey made in Wyoming, it’s also made from Wyoming. All of its ingredients originate from the Equality State, which due to its dry and windy climate sees greater temperature extremes than the majority of the continental United States. The company states that “Wyoming Whiskey Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey comes from the top barrels in the Wyoming Whiskey warehouses in Kirby, Wyoming.” This particular barrel was released throughout Wyoming, as well as at the Wyoming Whiskey Barrel House and Wyoming Whiskey Distillery Shop.

This single barrel version of Wyoming Whiskey Barrel Strength took the task to heart, as it shows off what whiskey originating solely from Wyoming is capable of. The bourbon opens with intriguing scents of orange rind, cardamom, and jasmine, to name a few. The midpoint keeps the flavor train going, with a focus on a plethora of delicious bakery flavors and aged oak. Ending on rich, dry flavors, a lingering heat is a nice reminder of the bourbon’s barrel proof offering. Priced at a wallet-busting $300 for a 10 year barrel strength bourbon, Wyoming Whiskey Barrel Strength Bourbon is clearly aimed at those who are fans of the brand and willing to spend on one of the distillery's highest-aged, and unadulterated whiskey drinking experiences yet. For those who are willing to pay the price, Wyoming Whiskey Barrel Strength Bourbon delivers a delicious sip that is perfect on a cold winter night.

The bourbon in review is from barrel #5540.
