A 90-Bottle Augusta Single Barrel Pick for Arkansas

One of the most notable details about “Wheated Fields of Augusta” is the small bottle count. According to the Central Arkansas Bourbon and Banter announcement, this Augusta wheated single barrel yielded only 90 bottles.

That makes this release especially limited, even by private barrel standards. For Arkansas bourbon drinkers who follow store picks, club selections, and limited whiskey releases, a 90-bottle yield means this is a small Arkansas allocation tied directly to a local store and bourbon group.

The pick was selected through a collaboration between CrossRoads Wine & Spirits and Central Arkansas Bourbon and Banter. Jarod Martin credited Brad Haviland, Tasha Salyers, Micheal Patterson, Sean Linder, and the Central Arkansas Bourbon and Banter admin team for helping select the whiskey.

About Augusta Distillery

Augusta Distillery is located in Augusta, Kentucky, a small river town along the Ohio River. The distillery has built its identity around premium Kentucky bourbon and uses the phrase “Bourbon Uncompromised” as part of its branding.

Many bourbon drinkers know Augusta Distillery through Buckner’s, its premium age-stated single barrel bourbon line. Buckner’s has included older Kentucky bourbon releases such as 10-year, 13-year, 15-year, and 17-year single barrel expressions.

Augusta has also expanded beyond Buckner’s into other bourbon releases, including Old Route 8, Small Batch Bourbon, and Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon. That makes this CrossRoads and Central Arkansas Bourbon and Banter selection especially interesting because it brings Augusta’s wheated single barrel bourbon line into the Arkansas market.

What Is Augusta Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon?

Augusta Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon is part of Augusta Distillery’s broader bourbon lineup. Unlike a standard rye-recipe bourbon, a wheated bourbon uses wheat as the secondary grain behind corn.

Bourbon must be made from at least 51 percent corn and aged in new charred oak barrels. In many bourbons, rye is used as the flavoring grain, which can add spice, pepper, and sharper baking spice notes. In a wheated bourbon, wheat takes the place of rye, often creating a softer and rounder flavor profile.

Wheated bourbons are commonly associated with flavors such as caramel, vanilla, honey, bread, pastry, and softer oak spice. At 107.2 proof, “Wheated Fields of Augusta” should still offer enough strength to carry a full single barrel bourbon profile while showing off the softer character associated with wheated bourbon.

Why This CrossRoads Bourbon Pick Matters

Local barrel picks continue to be one of the most active parts of Arkansas bourbon culture. Store picks and club collaborations give Arkansas bourbon groups a chance to bring unique barrels into the state that reflect their own palate and local whiskey community.

“Wheated Fields of Augusta” has several Arkansas-specific angles. It is tied to CrossRoads Wine & Spirits in Bryant, selected in collaboration with Central Arkansas Bourbon and Banter, limited to only 90 bottles, and described by Jarod Martin as the first Augusta Distillery Kentucky Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon in Arkansas.

For readers tracking Arkansas bourbon releases, this is more than just another store pick. It represents a new Augusta product line showing up locally through a limited single barrel selection.

CrossRoads Wine & Spirits Continues Its Barrel Pick Run

CrossRoads Wine & Spirits has continued to build a reputation in Central Arkansas for private barrel selections and local whiskey releases. This Augusta Distillery pick adds another Kentucky bourbon selection to the store’s growing list of Arkansas barrel picks.
