5 years
Bourbon
Wilderness Trail Distillery
64% corn, 24% wheat, 12% malted barley
Nose
Very pronounced and sweet with significant oak character. More pronounced oak on the nose than earlier releases, picking up more barrel influence.
Palate
Viscous and mouth-coating with good oil base. Very chewy texture. Fruit notes on the front with oak playing a significant role. Not leaving it bitter on the back end despite the oak influence. Sweet mash character allows for pleasant sipping.
Finish
Oak-forward finish that is not astringent or overly bitter. Silky going down.
Really good
A matured wheated bourbon showing excellent integration of oak with sweet grain character and a palatable, smooth finish.
