Nose - toffee, brown sugar, cocoa, vanilla, apple, mint, banana, cinnamon, nutmeg, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - caramel, vanilla, sour apple, cinnamon, allspice, brown sugar, bitter herbal notes, light oak, mint, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium short with caramel, baking spice, and mint flavors. The nose greets you with some classic bourbon aromas, but there are mint and underripe banana in the mix as well. I don’t find the normal cherry note I usually get on wheated bourbons, but there is some apple fruitiness. It’s a simple, but solid nose. The palate arrives with caramel and vanilla, but there’s a general sourness that pervades the whole experience, which reads to me as youth. I’m the first to admit that wheaters aren’t my thing, and this is no exception. It’s above average for me, but the youthfulness and lack of depth hold it back from a higher rating. Thank you to @jonwilkinson7309 for the sample. I’ll keep Wilderness Trail on my radar, but I think I need more age on wheated bourbons for them to excite me.
