Tasting Notes: The nose leads with red fruit roll-ups, spiced red apple, ground baking spices (nutmeg specifically) and hot chocolate powder, soft citrus peel, raw almond, and slightly funky earthiness.

The palate leads with dark chocolate, smokey vanilla, oak spice, tobacco, tar cherry, nutmeg, clove, and hints of leather on the finish.

The finish is long with cohesive chocolate and leather, and smoked vanilla bean.

Story: After years of working with distilleries around the world to provide advice and fermentation products, we launched our premium craft distillery in 2012 with a focus on making the highest quality Bourbon, Rye Whiskey and Vodka. Our founders Shane Baker and Pat Heist are fermentation experts with more than 20 years of experience in the production of alcohol and some of the best brands on the market today. Our specialty is making unique spirits from locally-grown grains to ensure quality, and adding a healthy dose of science in the process. Come see what we mean by visiting Wilderness Trail Distillery.

Production: We entered the cooper select, toasted and #4 char barrel at 110 proof after coming off the still around 137 proof. Aged in both our Rickhouse A at a mid- to upper-floor and in our Rickhouse B in the center of the warehouse.
