The Story

About Wilderness Trail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

At Wilderness Trail Distillery blends Kentucky bourbon-making traditions with modern science to produce consistently delicious, award-winning spirits. Their small-batch Bottled in Bond Rye Whiskey is a prime example of this commitment to excellence. This small-batch rye enters the barrel at a super low 110 proof, allowing for maximum flavor development and transfer with the wood during maturation. Their rye is born from a mash bill comprising 56% rye, 33% corn, and 11% malted barley. The liquid then finds its home in new #4 char barrels. The rigorous criteria of Bottled in Bond Bourbon ensures it was properly distilled within a single distilling season, aged between 5-6 years, and bottled under the supervision of the U.S. Government at 100 proof. The result is a delicious palate that unravels in waves of clove, white pepper, butterscotch, licorice, butter, rye, candied flowers, spearmint, and the exquisite charm of Earl Grey Tea.

About Wilderness Trail

Wilderness Trail Distillery is a craft operation that was launched in 2012 in Danville, Kentucky. Mixing old traditions with modern science, After over 20 years of working with distilleries worldwide to provide advice and fermenting products, founders Shane Baker and Dr. Pat Heist launched their premium craft distillery in 2012, with the core focus of making the highest quality Bourbon and Rye Whiskey.

Their production methods include an Infusion Mashing Process, which ― together with their unique yeast strains ― results in a softer and uniquely flavorful distillate. They are the first Kentucky bourbon distillery to use a chemical-free clean steam boiler that minimizes off flavors. Instead of sour mash, they rely on a sweet mash, which enables more flavors to be extracted from the grains. They employ a hybrid pot still, as well as two continuous column stills. All the whiskey is distilled, aged, and bottled on-site.

About Rye

As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.

By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

The nose is filled with sweet baking spices, oak, and dark fruits. Clove and white pepper on the palate give way to herbaceous bouquet of candied flowers, spearmint, and Early Grey tea. The finish is long and succulent, with notes of florals and spearmint sweetness
