Distillery: Wilderness Trail

A cracking Kentucky straight rye whiskey from Wilderness Trail, based upon a mash bill of 56% rye, 33% corn, and 11% malted barley to ensure a well-balanced and rounded profile. It was matured for a minimum of four years on the upper floors of the distillery’s rickhouse before being bottled in bond.

Wilderness Trail Small Batch Rye Tasting Notes

Nose: Lemon peels, zesty satsuma, and crisp apple bring fruity balance to woody rye spice. Soft notes of vanilla caramel and floral honey drift in the distance.

Palate: More citrus zest keeps things zingy with toasted rye bread and spiced butter in tow. Charred oak and butterscotch are followed by hints of liquorice and pepper.

Finish: That peppery heat takes hold on the finish, green peppers, and crushed peppercorns tangle with sweet toffee and orchard fruits.
