Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Rye Whiskey
Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is the cask-strength rye from Wilderness Trail Distillery in Danville, Kentucky, founded by Shane Baker and Pat Heist, two fermentation scientists who became the first Kentucky distillers to embrace sweet mash instead of the traditional sour mash. Their rye is a three-grain recipe of 56% Kentucky-grown heritage rye, 33% corn and 11% malted barley, designed for broader balance than the typical high-rye whiskeys.
What really sets Wilderness Trail apart is barrel entry proof. The distillery fills its new, air-dried #4 char barrels at just 100 and 105 proof, the lowest entry proof in Kentucky, which pulls different flavors from the wood and means cask-strength releases vary in proof. Barrels are aged on the upper floors of the rickhouses for a minimum of four years, with regular releases running six to eight. Drinkhacker rated the single barrel rye an A-, finding lemon peel, baking spice and new leather developing into vanilla custard and orange creamsicle on the nose, orange citrus and clove with chili pepper and barrel char on the palate, and a creamy finish of flamed orange peel. Each bottle is one barrel.
