Wilderness Trail Bottled in Bond Small Batch Bourbon (High Rye Bourbon)
Bourbon
Wilderness Trail // Kentucky, USA
Based in Danville, Kentucky, Wilderness Trail uses a rye-forward mash bill of 64% corn, 24% rye, and 12% malted barley for this expression, with corn and rye sourced from a local farm.
Made using a sweet mash process rather than the more common sour mash method, it is distilled on-site in a single season, aged a minimum of four years in bonded warehouses, and blended from batches of 10 to 12 barrels before being bottled non-chill filtered at 100 proof.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is a pleasing swirl of spring herb notes of thyme and mint mixing with red apples and cinnamon. The palate exhibits flavors of roasted peanuts and caramel along with sharper spices of clove, black pepper, and hot cinnamon. The whiskey has a dense weight that coats the tongue, but with measured sweetness. The finish lingers with underlying earthiness and spice. "
