Wilderness Trail 6 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon (Wheated Bourbon)

I’m getting cake vibes with this dram. There’s a fluffy sweet cake texture on the mid palate topped off with buttercream icing. The finish is a deep spiced vanilla. Much more on the desert side than anticipated. Absolutely delicious!

Butterscotch, Snickerdoodle Cookies, fruity, minty, herbal, leather, and oak on the nose. Fruit leans more toward cherry and lemon with mint, butterscotch and milk chocolate. The leathery oak comes very welcomely at the end of the interesting nose. Wouldn't necessarily have guessed wheated blindly but a very enjoyable nose. Caramel, mint, orange, and cherry come quickly on the palate. Light and smooth on the tongue with a nice texture to the Bourbon. The wheat has kept the flavor and smoothness very in tune for the style and although the nose didn't scream wheat to me, the palate surely does. Really delectable bourbon. I just want to keep drinking it and it is easy to drink. Finish last longer than I expected too although it isn't as much of a standout than the nose and palate. Overall a very nice wheated bourbon and a nice surprise

Smoke, leather, and tobacco on the nose. It’s younger age really shows on the palate with a lot of ethanol and not much of the fruity notes that typically shine in wheaters. This had a lot of heat on the finish, but the finish did have some length to it, which was nice.
