Sodie’s Releases 12-Year Huling Station Straight Wheat Single Barrel at 116.09 Proof

Twelve Years. A Different Kind of Wheat Whiskey.

Sodie’s Wine & Spirits has introduced a 12-year Huling Station single barrel straight wheat whiskey, bottled at a formidable 116.09 proof. This is a chance to get to know the spirit on its own terms.

THE SODIE’S SINGLE BARREL

A bottle with twelve years behind it.

Selected for Sodie’s Wine & Spirits in Fort Smith, this is Huling Station’s straight wheat whiskey in a mature, single-barrel expression—not its straight bourbon.

The age, proof and store-pick identity are visible right on the bottle. The question for whiskey drinkers is how that wheat-forward spirit has developed over twelve years in the barrel.

Label details verified from Sodie’s release photographs. The store’s price and bottle count were not confirmed.

Fort Smith’s newest 12-year single barrel

Sodie’s Wine & Spirits has shared photographs of its Huling Station Single Barrel Straight Wheat Whiskey selection. The label confirms 12 years of aging, 116.09 proof, and a 750 mL bottle, complete with a Sodie’s store-pick label.

It is the age statement that immediately catches the eye. Yet the bigger story is the whiskey itself: an unusually wheat-forward recipe originally commissioned by Memphis-based Old Dominick Distillery, now appearing in a mature, high-proof store selection.

83% wheat. That is the story.

Old Dominick’s documented Huling Station straight wheat recipe uses 83% wheat, with just 12% corn and 5% malted barley. Unlike a corn-led bourbon, this spirit is built with wheat as the foundation of its identity.

A custom recipe with a history of its own

The high-wheat project dates to 2014, when Old Dominick’s team worked with MGP in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, to develop the final mash bill and barrel-entry proof. Huling Station Straight Wheat joined the public lineup in 2020. Its original standard release was bottled at 90 proof.

Old Dominick did not merely select a familiar off-the-shelf recipe: contemporary reporting describes an intentionally developed mash bill. That provenance helps explain why the wheat whiskey has built a following apart from Huling Station’s high-rye bourbon.

Earlier Huling Station wheat whiskey was made through Old Dominick’s work with MGP. The distillation origin and barrel history of the specific Sodie’s selection have not been independently verified.

A big proof. An open question in the glass.

The standard Huling Station straight wheat whiskey has previously been described by Old Dominick as showing honey, gentle grassy notes and a touch of smoky oak. Those published notes belong to the standard expression—not to Sodie’s 12-year single barrel.

At 116.09 proof and a dozen years in wood, this selection could present its own balance of sweetness, oak, spice and texture. Until tasting notes from the actual Sodie’s barrel are available, those are possibilities, not tasting claims.

No firsthand review or score is implied. We will update verified release information if additional details become available.

Two 12-year Huling Station stories in Fort Smith

Sodie’s latest pick follows another intriguing local release: in September 2026, River Valley Whiskey Society and RiverPointe Wine & Spirits unveiled a separate 12-year Huling Station single-barrel straight bourbon at 140.97 proof.

The common name and age statement are striking, but these bottles represent different whiskey categories. The River Valley release was bourbon; the Sodie’s selection is labeled straight wheat whiskey. Each deserves to be understood on its own terms.
