had it at a friend's house and it was delicious. did some research and turns out it was picked back when Macaulay Minton was the barrel manager, so you know it's a high quality single barrel. it drinks above its age. not spicy at all and a lot of mellow sweet nots underneath.
I always get a little bit of Root Beer when I drink this. A lot of spice on this one, but smooth enough to feel like a normal 80 proof whiskey (which it is not). Be careful with this bottle, because you can finish it with some friends in one sitting.
I’ve loved everything to come out of wilderness trail. Whenever TSR gets a barrel pick from there you know it’ll be good. Don’t sleep on this one!
I like a big spicy rye and just like with their other bottles, Wilderness Trail delivers. At the same time, the heavy corn mash bill gives this a sweetness that never lets the pepper notes become overpowering.
