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

Nose: buttercream icing, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar Palette: buttercream icing, vanilla up front, finishes with maple and black licorice on back of tongue Finish: fades to spice and holds nicely

Pretty good but lacking in depth of flavor and mouthfeel.

Juicy fruit bubble gum - melon sweetness on the initial nose - 2nd layer  brings out some spice in the form of pepper but quickly balances out with some burnt sugars. Its an approachable proof point Front of the palate is a soft sweetness. Nice, full and smooth mouth feel - Middle palate is cinnamon & peppermint.  Back of the palate is oak, spice and a slight earthy note - herbal black Tea? Finish is so-so. Starts out like a spearmint or peppermint tooth paste with a slight hint of cirtus- ends with slightly drying oak tannins.

I like this one and didn’t really expect to as I wasn’t overly impressed with the regular BIB. But I’m a big fan of this. Is something a little different for me, and is very smooth with some wood flavor. Great stuff overall.

This one really has some bite. Very spicy! I enjoy the bite but the flavor if just not there to complement it. Not horrible but I don’t think it’s something I would crave again.
