Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Bourbon
Our high in small grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys are offered as a Single Barrel- Bottled in Bond. Two special releases in one bottle! The Single Barrel selection offers nuances only premium cooper select barrels can create from their toasting and using 18-month-old air-dried staves. After all, the barrels impart a large part of the flavor. Our Bottled in Bond release mash bill is 64 percent corn, 24 percent wheat and 12 percent malted barley using our yeast strains. This is one of the highest ratios of wheat used in a Bourbon made in Kentucky.

Independently Owned
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.
Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose opens with grain, salted caramel, vanilla, and a touch of spice.
Palate: The oily palate is particularly well-balanced with notes of caramel, popcorn, fruit, leather, and oak.
Finish: Finishes medium long with pleasant caramel, grain, fruity, and spicy notes.
