Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Color: Deep mahogany, reminiscent of aged oak in the heart of the forest. Nose: The aroma is inviting and complex, with rich notes of caramel and vanilla dancing alongside hints of toasted oak and dark chocolate. Subtle undertones of baking spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, add depth and intrigue to the bouquet. Palate: The first sip reveals a luxurious mouthfeel, coating the palate with velvety layers of caramel, toffee, and butterscotch. The sweetness is balanced by a warm and spicy kick, reminiscent of cracked black pepper and cinnamon. As the bourbon unfolds on the palate, flavors of dark fruits and roasted nuts emerge, adding complexity and depth. Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of oak, leather, and a touch of smokiness. A gentle warmth spreads from the chest, leaving a lasting impression of the bourbon's exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Wilderness Trail Distillery, located on 163 acres in Danville, KY, is a family-owned business that began in 2012. Co-owners Shane Baker and Pat Heist use their love of whiskey and 28+ years of fermentation expertise to make some of the Kentucky's Finest Bourbon Whiskey.
After years of working with distilleries around the world to provide advice and fermentation products, we launched our premium craft distillery in 2012 with a focus on making the highest quality Bourbon, Rye Whiskey and Vodka.
In the United States, rye whiskey is, by law, made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye. (The other ingredients in the mash are usually corn and malted barley.) It is distilled to no more than 160 U.S. proof (80% abv) and aged in charred, new oak barrels.
A distillery makes hard alcohol like whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, etc. The process of making distilled spirits starts off much of the same as making beer. We start by combining some basic ingredients such as grains, yeast & water. Of course each product's recipe varies.Campari Group has completed the acquisition of 70% of bourbon and rye whiskey producer, Wilderness Trail Distillery, in a deal worth US$420 million.Campari Group this week announced that it is buying a majority stake in Danville, Kentucky-based Wilderness Trail Distillery.
