Wolf Moon Straight Whiskey Bourbon Review

Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks! Today, we’re checking out a bourbon with a country music twist—Wolf Moon Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Co-created by country music stars Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line, this bottle is aimed at whiskey lovers who enjoy smooth, easy-drinking bourbon with a bit of southern charm. But does it live up to the hype, or is it just another celebrity-backed bottle?

Let’s find out with our good buddies from Clean Cut Plumbing, Vern and Austin!

The Story Behind Wolf Moon Bourbon

Wolf Moon Bourbon is a collaboration between Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line, crafted at an undisclosed distillery in Kentucky. The idea behind it was to create a bourbon that’s easy to sip, smooth enough for any occasion, and perfect for tailgates, bonfires, and country concerts.

Unlike many celebrity whiskeys that are sourced from unknown producers, Wolf Moon is said to be aged for at least four years in new charred oak barrels, ensuring it meets the standards of a proper straight bourbon.

Key Details

• Type: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
• Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
• Mash Bill: Undisclosed, but likely corn-forward with a moderate rye content
• Age: Minimum 4 years
• Distillery: Undisclosed (sourced from Kentucky)

Bottle Presentation

The bottle keeps it simple and rustic, with a bold black-and-gold label featuring the Wolf Moon name. It’s not overly flashy, but it fits the country music theme and would look right at home on a bar or tailgate setup.

Tasting Notes

Nose
Light and sweet, with aromas of vanilla, caramel, honey, and toasted oak. A touch of corn sweetness and mild spicelingers in the background.

Palate
A soft, easy-drinking sip, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of cinnamon spice. The mid-palate brings in a little oak and nuttiness, but overall, it leans on the sweeter side with minimal heat.

Finish
Short to medium-length, with lingering vanilla, light oak, and a mild spice tingle. It’s very smooth, making it an easy sipper.

How Does It Compare?

Compared to other celebrity-backed bourbons, Wolf Moon is smoother and more approachable than some, but lacks the bold complexity of a higher-proof pour. It’s more in line with Wild Turkey 81 or Evan Williams Black Label rather than premium craft bourbons.

Best Ways to Enjoy

🐺 Neat or on the rocks – Best for sipping at a laid-back country bonfire.
🐺 Whiskey & Cola – The sweetness pairs well with Coke or Dr. Pepper.
🐺 Classic Whiskey Sour – The smooth vanilla and caramel notes make for an easy cocktail base.

Final Thoughts

Wolf Moon Bourbon is a solid, easy-drinking whiskey, perfect for casual sipping or mixing into cocktails. It’s not a complex, high-proof sipper, but it delivers on what it promises—a smooth, approachable bourbon that fits the country lifestyle.

💰 Worth the Price? If you’re a fan of Florida Georgia Line or Jason Aldean, it’s a fun bottle to have. But if you’re looking for bold, rich flavors, you might want to reach for something with a little more proof and depth.

Final verdict? A smooth, easygoing bourbon that’s best enjoyed with good company and country music playing in the background! 🎸🥃

That’s it for today’s DadDimes on the Rocks review! Until next time, keep your whiskey smooth and your country music loud. Cheers! 🥃🔥
