Cathead Distillery announced the launch of its Estate Collection Straight Wheat Whiskey, a 100% wheat whiskey that represents grain-to-glass production, with every aspect from growing the wheat to bottling the final product taking place in Mississippi. 

This small batch, limited release is also the first of its kind to be distributed outside the distillery’s home state. 

Showcasing a dedication to craft and heritage, the Estate Collection Straight Wheat Whiskey features a 100% wheat mash bill, pot distilled and aged for 7 years in new #3 charred oak barrels. The final product is a carefully selected blend of the finest barrels out of a fourteen-barrel lot, bottled at a robust 100 proof.

“We’re proud that every aspect of this bottle, from seed to sip, happened right here in Mississippi,” Richard Patrick, Co-Founder of Cathead Distillery, said in a news release. “This whiskey represents years of dedication to creating something truly special, and sets the tone for our Estate Collection releases to come.”

At a suggested retail price of $75, the Estate Collection Straight Wheat Whiskey will be available in select states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee, as well as online via Seelbach’s and Cellar.com for nationwide shipping.

About Cathead Distillery

The first legal distillery in the state of Mississippi, Cathead Distillery was founded in 2010 by friends and blues fans Austin Evans and Richard Patrick. The name “Cathead,” a term first coined by Mississippi blues musicians as a nod to respected artists, is the brand’s way of paying homage to the state’s rich musical heritage; in this spirit, Cathead also donates a portion of proceeds to nonprofits that contribute to the region’s abundant arts and culture.
