Wilderness Trail Family Reserve Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon (High Rye Bourbon)

Vanilla nose, heat at first but finishes off nicely with pepper. Decent pick cask strength may want to open up with a drop of water. "

Nose: vanilla, toasted marshmallows, corn Palate: some ethanol but that quickly fades to mint, hints of maple syrup and more vanilla Finish: medium, but that’s more due to the ethanol proof and not the complexity of flavors The 2018 Wilderness Trail bottled in bond was great. It was akin to Makers 46. This single barrel pick (Liquor Barn, 2019, #4 char, Rickhouse B W0107, yeast strain FermPro-1) is lackluster compared to last years BiB release. Will revisit.
