5 years
Bourbon
Wilderness Trail Distillery
64% corn, 24% wheat, 12% malted barley
Nose
Very pronounced, really sweet on the nose with significant oak influence. More pronounced oak than earlier releases.
Palate
Very viscous and mouth-coating, chewy. Fruit notes on the front end with pronounced barrel influence. Good oil base with pronounced legs in the glass.
Finish
Oak carries through but not leaving it bitter on the back end. Long, pleasant finish.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A well-matured wheated bourbon with notable oak integration and pleasant viscosity that drinks smoother than its age might suggest.
