Wilderness Trail Wheated Bourbon Bottled in Bond

The first bottled-in-bond wheated sweet mash bourbon released in Kentucky since Prohibition. The 'sweet mash' distinction means all-fresh grain and yeast are used for each fermentation — no acidic backset recycled from previous batches (which is the standard 'sour mash' approach). This produces a different ester and flavor profile. Founded by fermentation scientists, Wilderness Trail approaches sweet mash with rigorous scientific process rather than folk tradition. All grains sourced from Kentucky farms.
