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

Sweet, vanilla, peanuts, floral, slight spicy, hint of mint, slight oak, medium finish, smooth

I was hoping for more here. Maybe expectations were too high

Banana pecan pancakes on the nose and similar on the palate with some tobacco

This stuff is awesome! I’ve been a wilderness trail ever since I had my first glencairn of small batch BIB, the day it showed up at my total wine… and this is honestly a worthwhile step up. Is it 80$ for a 6 year BiB?…. Yes… so what! It is absolutely beautiful. Awesome balance of wheat, slight spice, but man that finish lasts forever with beautiful warming heat. There is so much about this that makes it a solid everyday pour. I look at wilderness trail bottles as a young VERY talented distillery, that is making some serious corn juice and can only improve as they develop their craft.

Earthy, woodsie, and slight brown sugar on nose. Taste is equally earthy with some chocolate fudge filling the mouth resulting in a lingering finish.
