A small batch that makes one big and deliciously wheated statement.

In the late '90s, Shane Baker and Pat Heist were tearing it up in a rock band, but destiny had a grander plan in store for them, waiting until 2006 to unveil their true calling. Armed with extensive knowledge in various scientific fields, more than two decades of industry know-how, yeast strains collected over the years, and an exquisite selection of top-notch corn, wheat, and rye varieties, they set off on their Bourbon path. Serendipitously situated in the hills of Historically Bold Danville, Kentucky— the very birthplace of Kentucky, mind you—and deeply rooted in the rich heritage of the Kentucky Bourbon industry for generations. At the core of their operation lies their ingenious secret sauce: the sweet mash process, the magic touch behind their consistently mouthwatering, award-winning concoctions. 

Wilderness Trail's Wheated Bottled in Bond Bourbon is the epitome of "small batch" prowess, with only 20 barrels per batch carefully crafted from locally-sourced grains and pampered in premium Cooper select barrels with 18-month-old air-dried staves. This Kentucky-distilled Bourbon sports one of the highest wheat-to-corn ratios in the state (64% corn, 24% wheat, and 12% malted barley) and is aged for a minimum of 4 years at a gentle 100 proof. Its non-chill filtered soul unfolds in enchanting notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and charred oak, culminating in a bewitching finale of oak spices, toffee, and luscious dark fruits.

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
