Wilderness Trail Small Batch Rye Whiskey 750ml

Wilderness Trail Distillery in Danville, Kentucky is one of the most technically rigorous craft distilleries in America — founded by fermentation scientists Pat Heist and Shane Baker, who apply a research-driven approach to every aspect of production. Their Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskeys are offered as Small Batch, Bottled in Bond, and what sets them apart starts at the barrel.

Wilderness Trail enters the barrel at the lowest entry proof known in Kentucky — 100 and 105 proof — to highlight the balance of the distillate and the alternate solubility expression they get from the wood at lower proof. The result is a rye with exceptional grain character and a depth of oak integration that higher-entry-proof whiskeys simply can't achieve. The Green label denotes their barrel proof expression, bottled without dilution.

Tasting Notes
