Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Bourbon (Bottle A)
111.28 proof 5 years, 1 month Bourbon Wilderness Trail Distillery Traditional rye recipe
Nose

Intense vanilla-cream with a subtle clove-like spice and hint of sarsaparilla or root beer note. Honey and dark amber hue. Heat suggesting high proof (105–110 range).

Palate

Satiny smooth and creamy initially, shifting to chewy with rich caramel and dark fruit notes emerging. Oak present and spice building. Vanilla steps back as caramel and spice come forward.

Finish

Medium finish with vanilla returning at the fade after water rinse. Warming and present.

Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted bourbon with engaging texture and flavor layering, notable for its distinctive vanilla-forward profile and smooth mouthfeel despite moderate proof.
