This expertise has allowed them to utilize the sweet mash process with stellar results. While sour mash has been used for the sake of consistency for generations, sweet mash requires such careful handling of your fermentations that it's extremely difficult to get a consistent product batch after batch. But as Wilderness Trail's co-founder Dr. Pat says "Consistency is the mark of a pro."

And they are professionals when it comes to delicious whisky. This single barrel of high rye sweet mash bourbon is a big and spicy beast with complex wood spice and butterscotch on the finish.

Aged: 4 Years 9 Months

55.6% ABV / 111.2 Proof

Product Details

Wilderness Trail is one of the craft distilleries in Kentucky that is pushing the envelope and yet respecting the extremely high-quality standards that have set Kentucky apart since the first Bourbons were distilled. The distillery developed as a natural progression out of their original business - yeast.

Before they were distilling for themselves, they provided an enormous catalogue of yeasts for distilleries, wineries, and breweries around the world. This expertise has allowed them to utilize the sweet mash process with stellar results.

About the Producer

In the late ‘90s, we were in a rock band together and quickly realized we needed to chase another dream. In 2006, our journey began with a passion for creating the finest whiskeys in the world. We are fortunate to be nestled in the rolling hills of Historically Bold Danville, Kentucky, the birthplace of Kentucky, and also being exposed to the Kentucky Bourbon industry for generations while growing up.

In fact, Shane’s family has been distilling in Kentucky since the 1940s when his grandmother, Doris Ballard, met his grandfather, Hubert Ballard, at the Kentucky River Distillery when they were 14 and 16 years old. Doris Ballard went on to retire from Stitzel-Weller after a more than 50 year career in the industry. This type of family history provides a lot of our influences today, including some special yeast strains.
