Heritage
Wheatley Vodka is crafted at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery, under the guidance of Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley. The vodka is produced using a unique micro-distillation process that includes ten individual distillations followed by triple filtration, resulting in a clean, refined spirit made for versatility and smoothness.
Unlike mass-produced vodkas, Wheatley is made with a wheat-based mash bill that imparts a soft, approachable texture while maintaining a crisp, structured character. Its small-batch production allows for close monitoring of quality and consistency, embodying Buffalo Trace’s rigorous standards across all of its spirits.
This 10-pack of 50ml mini bottles is ideal for tastings, events, or travel, offering a convenient way to experience handcrafted vodka from one of America’s most respected distilleries. It also makes for an excellent introduction to the distillery’s broader portfolio for newcomers and collectors alike.

Craftsmanship
Wheatley Vodka is a handcrafted American vodka created at the award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. Named after Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley, this small-batch spirit is made from a unique wheat-based recipe and distilled ten times through a continuous column still before undergoing a triple filtration process. The result is a vodka that’s exceptionally clean, crisp, and smooth — tailored for sipping straight or mixing in elevated cocktails.
While Buffalo Trace is globally renowned for its bourbon, Wheatley Vodka reflects the same uncompromising commitment to quality, innovation, and heritage. With a velvety texture and delicate hints of vanilla and citrus, it stands apart in a crowded vodka market. Its clean profile makes it an ideal choice for martinis, vodka sodas, or artisanal infusions.
Praised by critics and bartenders for delivering exceptional value, Wheatley represents a new standard for American vodka — combining meticulous production with the trusted craftsmanship of one of the oldest distilleries in the U.S.
