Chosen by the family through a meticulous blind tasting of samples at bottling proof, the distinctive high-corn, high-barley, and low-rye Medley mash bill packs 250 years of bourbon-making tradition into every bottle—in fact, R. Wathen Medley is widely credited as the originator of the Single Barrel Bourbon concept. As dangerously easy to sip neat as it is tempting to mix into cocktails, Wathen’s Single Barrel Bourbon is a staple American whiskey.

The Wathen-Medley family has been distilling some of Kentucky’s finest bourbon for 8 generations, beginning more than 100 years before Prohibition. Today, the company is owned and run by the 7th– and 8th-generation Wathen-Medley boys, Sam Medley and his father, Charles Medley, and is one of the last independent and family-owned Kentucky bourbon brands, as well as one of the most historic.
