Bottle 15C1320B, bottle 91 of 234, yet another startup going the BiB route, Old Fourth being another notable one, these new guys seem to be getting it together.
The nose is rather impressive reminds me of some double oaked rivals with rich caramel all spice apple.
Front side, again a double oaked Woodford with the orchard notes, it's sweet wheat and not much heat. The spicy notes are a bit more in the bread pan range but still getting the warm brown sugars. I don't know where this came from but wither they made it our sourced it, it's good. The finish trails off appropriately with little burn and no deficiencies of acetate bitterness. Its GOOD. Sweet mash may be the new way to go, It's another non chill filtered offering and if the foks in Danville can keep this level of quality and improve on it, they really have something. I wouldn't go overboard to get this bottle but in the 50 and under range it's going to stand up well.
Not a ton of complexity in notes but what is here is good and rich.
The bottle does claim they distilled on site so there is that to go on, either way, Good effort by Wildereness Trail. Cheers!
