Product Overview
Wilderness Trail Single Barrel 6 Year Old Private Barrel Family Reserve Cask Strength Wheated Bourbon
Single Barrel | 6 Years Old | Cask Strength | Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
The Wilderness Trail Single Barrel 6 Year Old Private Barrel Family Reserve Cask Strength Wheated Bourbon is a premium Kentucky bourbon showcasing the distillery's acclaimed sweet mash process and commitment to exceptional barrel selection. Bottled at full cask strength and drawn from a single carefully chosen barrel, this limited Family Reserve release offers a rich, unfiltered expression of Wilderness Trail's wheated bourbon recipe.
Aged for six years in new charred American oak barrels, this bourbon replaces rye with wheat in the mash bill, creating a softer, sweeter profile while maintaining impressive depth and complexity. Each private barrel delivers its own unique character, highlighting layers of caramel, vanilla, oak, and baking spice with the bold intensity that only cask-strength whiskey can provide.
Uncut and non-chill filtered, this Family Reserve selection captures the bourbon exactly as it matured in the barrel, making it a sought-after release for collectors, enthusiasts, and fans of high-proof Kentucky bourbon.
