Unbendt Straight Malt Whiskey

Product Description

Unbendt Straight Malt Whiskey: Bottled-in-Bond Texas Malt and Wheat Whiskey

Unbendt Straight Malt Whiskey is a grain-to-glass Texas whiskey produced by BENDT Distilling Co. in Lewisville. The official product information identifies a two-grain mash bill made with Texas malted barley and Texas soft winter wheat.

The whiskey is aged for more than five years and bottled in bond at 50% ABV, or 100 proof. Malted barley supplies toast, cereal, cocoa, and nutty depth, while the wheat contributes a softer texture and rounded sweetness. Texas maturation adds concentrated oak and spice.

This is straight malt whiskey rather than single malt Scotch or bourbon, so its grain recipe and legal category should be judged on their own terms.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Toasted malt, honey, cocoa, vanilla, and warm oak. Palate: Malt biscuit, soft wheat sweetness, caramel, roasted nuts, and baking spice. Finish: Warming and grain-forward, with oak, cocoa, and lingering malt.

Food Pairings

Pair with smoked brisket, roast pork, aged cheddar, malted desserts, roasted nuts, oatmeal cookies, or dark chocolate.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat first, then add a few drops of water to manage the 100-proof strength. It also works over one large cube or in a malt-forward Old Fashioned.
