Wilderness Trail Small Batch Wheated Bourbon Whiskey
$59.50
Distilled from a mash bill of 64% corn, 24% wheat, and 12% malted barley, Wilderness Trail's wheated bourbon is aged at least four years before bottling without chill filtration at 100 proof. It showcases the elegance of a classic wheated bourbon on the nose, with sweet cake batter, maple syrup, heavy cream, blackberries, and barrel char. The palate follows through on those sweet promises, with gooey butter cake (any St. Louisians here?), sugar plums, creme de cassis, dark clove spice, black pepper, and a viscous creaminess that high quality wheat always brings to the table. The finish is slightly dry and woody, with fresh baked bread notes slowly filling the back of your palate. This is elegant wheat from a producer that really knows what they are doing with it.
