Wilderness Trail Whiskey

Wilderness Trail, with its evocative name, invokes imagery of untamed landscapes and pioneers venturing into the unknown. Indeed, much like the trailblazers of the past, Kentucky-based Wilderness Trail Distillery is forging its path in the crowded world of whiskey with a combination of tradition and innovation.

What sets Wilderness Trail apart is the unique amalgamation of time-honoured distilling practices with contemporary scientific knowledge. The founders, with backgrounds in fermentation science, bring an expert understanding of the minutiae of fermentation and maturation. By ensuring a consistent and healthy fermentation process, they are able to craft whiskeys that are robust in flavour and remarkably smooth.

Wilderness Trail's range is diverse, each with its unique taste profile, but all bearing the hallmark of the distillery's commitment to quality:

Bourbon: Their bourbons are known for their sweet mash process, as opposed to the more commonly used sour mash. This method, although more challenging, results in a cleaner and crisper flavour. Using a mix of corn, wheat, or rye, and malted barley, these bourbons are aged in charred new oak barrels, imparting rich caramel and vanilla notes.

Rye Whiskey: Emphasising the spicy and fruity notes of rye, Wilderness Trail's rye whiskey is a nod to classic American whiskey-making. With its high rye content, this offering is for those who appreciate a bolder, spicier sip.

Bottled-in-Bond: Adhering to the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, Wilderness Trail's bottled-in-bond whiskeys guarantee a product that is the outcome of one distillation season, aged for at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof. It's a testament to their commitment to authenticity and quality.
