Mary Dowling Winter Wheat Bourbon is a bold yet smooth whiskey, crafted with a wheated mash bill (65% corn, 25% wheat, 10% malted barley). On the nose, you'll find inviting notes of sandalwood, chai spice, and pipe smoke, mixed with hints of cherries and brown sugar. The palate offers layers of toasted coconut, chocolate, grilled peaches, and dark baking spices, providing a delightful balance of sweetness and woodiness. The finish lingers with cherry, dark spices, and a subtle hint of Tootsie Roll.
Mary Dowling was the most successful and influential woman distiller in the male-dominated world of pre-Prohibition bourbon, yet no one knows her name.
During Prohibition, she was the ONLY owner to shift production to Mexico to escape the long arm of the Dry Laws. The Mary Dowling brand restores her name to its rightful place in American hearts, minds, and glasses.
