Note: This whisky is part of an ongoing series, with variability between each release due to differences in mash bill, barrels used, age profile, and others. If the specific version is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.
Tasting Notes
Nose: sweet, spicy, fruity, and warm. The classic vanilla note is present, but more spice-influenced like aged rum.
Palate: In the mouth, the bourbon is sweet and viscous with a moderate astringency from grippy tannins.
Finish: Same as aromas with notes of chocolate orange peels, apricot marmalade on dark rye toast, and roasted bananas and leafs
Wilderness Trail 6 Year Old Bourbon
Look for Wilderness Trail's wheated and rye Bourbon with a silver label and a “6” on the neck tag and on the vertical label. The silver label mashbill for the wheated Bourbon is 64% corn, 24% wheat and 12% barley. For the rye Bourbon, the difference is 24% rye instead of wheat. The 6-year is deeper in character and richer in flavors found in more mature Bourbons. We hope you enjoy all the deliciousness of our Bourbons with this age statement.
