Wilderness Trail Family Reserve Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon (Wheated Bourbon)

Spec’s pick. 4.5 years old. Nose of vanilla, sweet bread, sawdust, honey. On the palate I pick up sweet wheat, some malt, caramel, sawdust. The proof has a burn on the finish. Overall, it is pretty good. I wonder if some age would improve it by removing some of the young wood/sawdust I am picking up that is not quite integrated into the other flavor notes.

Great whiskey. My bottle is from Superfine Wine in Canton MI. Just over 5 years old. Really nice, well balanced, but drinks it’s high proof. If you’re okay with a hot whiskey, this is great. For me, maybe 1/10 times it comes out too hot until my palate adapts

A bit rough for a wheated,
