Welcome to WB Triple Shot, where we talk about three different spirits at three different price points. This month we’re talking about whiskey.

Whiskey flavors can depend on a lot of factors, such as temperature, length of aging and most importantly, mash bill ingredients. A mash bill is the combination of grains used to create the spirits recipe.

Let’s dive into this month’s selections!

Wild Turkey 101

First, we have Wild Turkey 101, which is priced at around $24. This Kentucky straight whiskey bourbon is aged in white oak barrels for 6-8 years and made with high rye content. The rye and 101 proof are what gives it a bite but still comes with notes of vanilla and caramel. Perfect to drink neat.

Maker's Mark

Next up is Makers Mark, priced at around $30. This is a wheated whiskey, which makes it less sharp, but still full of flavor. Makers is aged to taste, rather than time. This is definitely a more beginner friendly whiskey with sweeter notes of vanilla, caramel and spice.

Penelope Four Grains Bourbon

Then we have Penelope Four Grains Bourbon, which is around $41. Like it says in the name, this whiskey is made from blending three hand-picked barrels consisting of four grains: corn, wheat, rye and malted barley. By blending these barrels into one, you get a perfect balance of flavors. Fruity notes with a sweetness and savory spice, this makes for the perfect whiskey to try in summer time cocktails.

Ready to spice up your evening? We’ve got three stunning whiskey cocktails that you can whip up at home:
