🎙️ DadDimes on the Rocks – Episode: “477 Straight Bourbon Whiskey: Colorado Wheat Gold”

Welcome back! Today, we’re highlighting a hidden gem from the Colorado craft scene: 477 Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a wheat-forward, single-barrel expression that’s gaining praise for its approachability and smoothness. Let’s pour in with our special guest, Christopher Avent, and see what this local favorite brings to the table.

🌾 The Bourbon

Distillery: 477 Distilling, Colorado
Proof: 90 (45% ABV)
Mash Bill: 70% corn, 16% wheat, 14% barley—making it a wheat-bourbon powerhouse
Aging: Matured in new American oak barrels

👃 Nose

The bourbon greets you with classic wheat bourbon elements: soft wheat, fresh oak, and gentle whispers of vanilla It’s inviting, but not overwhelming—a friendly wave in a sea of heavy-hitting spirits.

👄 Palate

Expect a smooth, sweet, and approachable experience. Dominant flavors include vanilla, caramel, and a delicate floral quality—likely from the wheat in the mash . The oats and barley round it out nicely, giving a subtle cereal character and a well-integrated oak backbone.

🔥 Finish

The finish carries that signature wheat bourbon elegance: smooth, mellow, with lingering sweetness and a touch of oak warmth. Vanilla and caramel notes stay present, making it a satisfying sip to the end .

🧭 Who It's For

Wheat-bourbon fans (think Larceny or Maker’s Mark) looking for a local twist
Craft whiskey enthusiasts interested in exploring high-quality, non-Kentucky bourbons
Everyday sippers – mellow, smooth, and easygoing without sacrificing flavor

💡 Final Thoughts

477 Bourbon is exactly as advertised: a sweet, smooth, crowd-pleasing wheat bourbon with a gentle character that’s easy to enjoy. It’s not aiming to be a powerhouse or barrel proof star—it’s a craft-crafted, approachable pour perfect for those regular sipping sessions.

Priced around $40–45, it’s a solid value that shines especially for folks in Colorado. If you’re looking to support local distillers or just want a reliable, mellow bourbon for everyday enjoyment, this is one worth adding to your collection.

Final Score: ⭐ 3.5/5 – A well-made, easygoing wheat bourbon that's smooth, sweet, and locally crafted.
