Reviewed August 30, 2020 (edited July 2, 2021)Bottle 15C1320B, bottle 91 of 234, yet another startup going the BiB route, Old Fourth being another notable one, these new guys seem to be getting it together. The nose is rather impressive reminds me of some double oaked rivals with rich caramel all spice apple. Front side, again a double oaked Woodford with the orchard notes, it's sweet wheat and not much heat. The spicy notes are a bit more in the bread pan range but still getting the warm brown sugars. I don't know where this came from but wither they made it our sourced it, it's good. The finish trails off appropriately with little burn and no deficiencies of acetate bitterness. Its GOOD. Sweet mash may be the new way to go, It's another non chill filtered offering and if the foks in Danville can keep this level of quality and improve on it, they really have something. I wouldn't go overboard to get this bottle but in the 50 and under range it's going to stand up well. Not a ton of complexity in notes but what is here is good and rich. The bottle does claim they distilled on site so there is that to go on, either way, Good effort by Wildereness Trail. Cheers! -

Reviewed August 20, 2020 (edited October 17, 2020)Barrel No. 1500120B, bottle 29 of 230. My quest to try all the current bottled-in-bonds continues. 2oz neat in Glencairn at home. Nose is a like a liquid candy bar, with caramel and cocoa and nougat, some light spice and grains on the tail. Smooth and rich. Taste is radically different, with spice and oak completely dominating a now more subtle caramel and vanilla. The aftertaste lingers briefly, and ends on a dry-ish note. This is an odd one, with the nose like smooth jazz and the taste like hair metal. Both are fine and have their place, but you probably shouldn't do a mixtape alternating the two. I will say that it is interesting as hell. 8/20/2020 -

Reviewed August 12, 2020 (edited December 20, 2020)Nose: getting flan, rice pudding, oak, citrus peel, and a hint of ethanol. Palate: Holy liquid Snickers, Batman! It’s all there; caramel, chocolate, and nuts. Very rich and sweet. Finish is the weakest part as it’s mostly just a continuation of the palate outside of a small baking spice bloom and a hint of oak after the other flavors have faded. Finish is on the short side of medium. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy which works perfectly with the flavor profile. Overall this is very enjoyable if you are a fan of rich, sweet bourbons. Of note is that while it is a “wheater”, that fact is nearly indistinguishable; there’s literally nothing here that screams “wheated bourbon” At $54 and 100 proof, it is neither under or overpriced. I have now tried all three readily available Wilderness Trail expressions and so far all have been superior. This distillery knows what it’s doing, and I look forward to the day I am sipping on a WIlderness Trail 10 year.54.0 USD per Bottle
