I’ve been meaning to try Wilderness Trail for a while now. It’s a relatively new distillery, in KY, and unlike other upstarts, they actually waited 4 years to place their first bottle as a BiB. You have to hand it to them waiting 4 years, especially considering the immense startup costs in building a new distillery. And thanks to my buddy @dubz480 for sending over a generous pour to try. This is a 114 proof..I couldn’t even find that listing here, so I’m guessing @dubz480 got his hands on a special store pick. I had this sample on my desk since Monday. Been periodically nosing it all week. The aroma is amazing...marshmallows and vanilla, with a side of oak. I can just smell the aromas without drinking it, and be fully content. The palette for me was a step down though...not for anything else, but it was simply too hot at 114. I had to add ice, but then that muted the amazing aroma. So, net/net...I screwed up by adding too large an ice. With proof that high, I have a hard time balancing to get it just right. Either way, I need to try the BiB 100proof version of this, which I’m guessing will be less hot. Thanks @dubz480 for the pour!
