This Single Barrel release from Wilderness Trail is made from a mash bill of 64% corn, 24% wheat and 12% malted barley, aged in toasted and charred barrels. It's also bottled in bond, meaning that, as laid out in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, it must be aged between five and six years and bottled by us under the supervision of the U.S. Government at 100 proof. That's also known as 50% ABV across the pond.
Grain sweetness and buttered popcorn, with cinnamon French toast and salted butter, with some maple syrup drizzled over.
Rich and viscous, with more buttery notes, toffee popcorn and silky caramel, with just a sprinkle of salt.
Some vanilla oak in there among cherry jam, and a hint of spice on the finish.

I've drank many many many bourbons. And this one is quite a bit different from all the others. It feels light on the palette initially but if you let it roll around for a second, you'll see it's anything but! This is my second bottle and I must say, the confidence they have bottling in bond is well earned. A great experience. A good bourbon at a good price. Can't ask for more!
Good solid flavour. I got a hint of mocha, some apricot jam and a nice oak finish. Miles away from peaty Scotches.
