Wilderness Trail Settler's Select Single Barrel Cask Strength Rye Whiskey
113 proof 4 years Rye Wilderness Trail Distillery Danville, KY 56% rye, 33% corn, 11% malted barley
Nose

Floral notes including lavender and hibiscus, honey, opening up with air exposure. Black licorice and Wrigley's gum notes with some grassiness.

Palate

Complex layers of spice at the front transitioning to floral and herbal middle notes, finishing with mint and dinner-mint flavors. Warm Kentucky hug on the finish without harsh throat punch.

Finish

Nice warming sensation with cinnamon gum-like sweetness and menthol notes.

Very good
A sophisticated, well-balanced Kentucky rye that delivers both the spice expected from the category and surprising floral complexity, making it approachable even for non-rye drinkers.
