Covington distillery Wenzel Whiskey is celebrating after a win at the annual World Whiskies Awards.

Put on by Whisky Magazine, the World Whiskies Awards were held Feb. 8 at the Brown Hotel in Louisville and featured whiskies from around the world. Each entry into the awards is evaluated blind by independent spirits experts. Wenzel Whiskey’s “Wheated Two” bourbon was named the “Best American Blended Limited Release,” for 12 Years and Under. The category was for releases of blended whiskey limited to 3,600 bottles or less.

The distillery says this award marks a significant milestone for them.

“We are truly honored to receive such esteemed recognition from the World Whiskies Awards,” Bill Whitlow, brand ambassador for Wenzel Whiskey, said in a press release. “Wheated Two represents the culmination of our dedication to blending exceptional whiskey that captivates the palate and delights connoisseurs. Our triumph in the Best American Blended Limited Release category underscores Wenzel’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional whiskey-making and setting new standards of quality and distinction. This accolade is a testament to the talent and passion of our entire team.”

Wheated Two is a barrel-proof wheated bourbon that is made up of six and seven-year-old barrels and bottled at 112.04 proof.

This year, Wenzel Whiskey expects to be distilling bourbon on-site in a new production facility that will have a tasting room, event space and retail shop as part of a multimillion-dollar expansion.
