Bourbon
Wilderness Trail
High rye
Nose
Light, honey notes, rye character present without being overbearing, different from their wheated bourbon
Palate
No immature notes, no cereal character, no strong alcohol flavors; clean rye spice with good flavor development; lacks the brittleness typical of younger bourbons
Finish
Wood character comes through on the finish
Really good
An exceptional four-year-old high-rye bourbon that drinks with the maturity of a much older whiskey, delivering clean rye spice and wood complexity without youthful harshness.
