Preservation Estate Kentucky Wheated Pot Distilled Bourbon is a small-batch, craft bourbon produced by Preservation Distillery in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. Aged 6 to 7 years, it is distilled using a micro single-batch pot distillation process that yields only 1 to 3 barrels per batch, making each release a rare and distinctive expression.

The mashbill combines local artisan corn, harvest wheat, and dark toast malted barley — a classic wheated bourbon profile that lends a soft, rounded character. Bottled at 114.6 proof (57.3% ABV), the whiskey delivers an exceptionally rich and viscous mouthfeel. Tasting notes include caramelized wheat, toffee, deep toasted oak, and honey butter. The high proof preserves the full intensity of the distillate while remaining approachable for bourbon enthusiasts.

This bourbon is a notable find at Costco, offering a rare, craft Kentucky whiskey at accessible pricing. It is best enjoyed neat or with a small amount of water to open up the complex aromas and flavors.
