Wilderness Trail Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Wilderness Trail Wheated Single Barrel is one barrel of sweet-mash Kentucky wheated bourbon at 100 proof — Drinkhacker graded it B+ for buttered popcorn, chewy caramel, wintergreen, and cherry candy. Pat Heist and Shane Baker, the fermentation scientists behind Ferm Solutions, founded Wilderness Trail in Danville in 2013 and made sweet mash — a fresh fermentation every time, no sour-mash backset — the house rule; Campari bought a majority stake in 2022. The Wheated is a 64% corn, 24% wheat, 12% malted barley bourbon, sweet-mashed, barreled at 110 proof, aged at least four years in Danville, and bottled from a single barrel at 100 proof per the Bottled-in-Bond act; check your bottle for the barrel number. Drinkhacker: buttered popcorn and chewy caramel with wintergreen and cherry candy on the finish. Bourbon Obsessed and The Bourbon Road both note how the sweet mash keeps the wheat bright rather than heavy. Expect a soft, sweet, clean wheated bourbon — caramel, popcorn, cherry, a mint lift — with a gentle finish. Honest note: a bonded, single-barrel wheater from a serious Kentucky craft house at a price Weller hunters would kill for — for the wheated-bourbon drinker who wants something new and the Wilderness Trail fan. Neat or on a cube. Wilderness Trail, wheated, one barrel.
