The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat is a barrel strength bourbon from the oldest operating distillery in Missouri, a recent addition to the UK market as of 2024 and a standout example of wheated bourbon made outside Kentucky. Built on a soft red wheat mash bill instead of the more common rye, this expression is bottled without dilution to full barrel strength.
Expect a nose of soft grain, honey and vanilla, with a palate that's rich and full-bodied thanks to the barrel strength bottling, carrying caramel, baking spice and the gentle sweetness that soft red wheat contributes, finishing long and warm. The higher proof gives drinkers the option to add a few drops of water to open it up further.
Sip it neat or with a splash of water to taste it at your preferred strength. Pair with roasted pork, sweet potato dishes or pecan pie. Shop this Missouri barrel-strength wheated bourbon online at Habits Bottle Shop.

On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
