Ruination Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I ran across a bottle of OYO Whiskey made from "100% red winter wheat." It's a small distillery near Columbus, OH. Has anyone tried this before, or any of their other products? They make vodka, vanilla vodka, and stonefruit vodka as well. It was $45 for the bottle. I passed on it today, because I've never tasted a wheat whiskey before. Is it against forum rules to post a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theglobalguy Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I haven't felt the need to spend that much on unreviewed product (could taste like hamster cage stuffing for all i know), but can say i went from seeing once at TPS, asking the staff only to get a "we have no idea, it's brand new" response to now seeing in three additional shops in Louisville, KY.

MyOldKyDram Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 You should just head to the distillery. Could be fun and with any luck they have samples of it. You're what, a little over an hour away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_elliott Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's OK to post link to bourbon sites and things like that or articles. Just don't post links to EBay or Craig's list or things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourbon Boiler Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I saw it in a Mansfield liquor store a few months back, but passed on it. That's the only time I can recall seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I wonder if 100% wheat whiskey is a good source of fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I wonder if 100% wheat whiskey is a good source of fiber. Only if it's whole grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I wonder if 100% wheat whiskey is a good source of fiber. If you pour it on your Grape Nuts, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 On a whim, Kristin grabbed a bottle of OYOs new "bourbon." That's what they call it, at any rate. Supposedly a blend of rye based KY bourbon and their own wheat whiskey. Somehow that makes this a wheated bourbon, so they say. Anyhow, will try and not hold all of that against it too much and just give it a try later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyOldKyDram Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yup that's the one. Handsome enough presentation, for whatever that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I wonder if 100% wheat whiskey is a good source of fiber. If you use it to mix your tablespoon of Metamucil with, I'm sure it is. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 So, they bring in a bulk shipment, add 'some' of their make and call the final product theirs? Actually, I've got no problem with that if the flavor is good, the price is right and there's full disclosure. I do draw a line though at paying a premium for ordinary, misrepresented stuff.

MyOldKyDram Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Pretty much. Flavor isn't actually bad at all. Reminds me of EWSB, truthfully. At a $20 premium, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
