Wilderness Trail Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Bottled in Bond (High Wheat, Single Barrel)
100 proof 5 years Bourbon Wilderness Trail Distillery Danville, KY 64% corn, 24% wheat, 12% malted barley
Nose

Very pronounced and pronounced oak on the nose with sweet notes. Really sweet on the nose overall.

Palate

Very viscous and mouth-coating, chewy mouthfeel. Nice and chewy with good oil base. Fruit on the front end with significant oak character. Spice notes not typically associated with wheated bourbons. Sweet mash character comes through as pleasant and smooth.

Finish

Not leaving it bitter on the back end despite the pronounced oak influence.

Recommended
A well-crafted wheated bourbon with pronounced oak integration and unexpected spice character, delivering smooth drinkability with nice fruit and sweet undertones.
