Wilderness Trail's Wheated Bourbon applies the distillery's scientific sweet mash approach to a wheated mash bill. The sweet mash process — using fresh yeast for each fermentation rather than sour mash — produces a cleaner, brighter fermentation that accentuates the wheat's natural softness and honeyed character.
The combination of sweet mash and wheat is particularly effective. The cleaner fermentation allows the wheat's gentle, honeyed sweetness to express itself with unusual clarity, while the bottled-in-bond 100 proof provides enough strength for the subtle wheated flavours to register with conviction.
Wilderness Trail Wheated Bourbon is one of the finest craft wheated bourbons available. The scientific rigour, sweet mash innovation, and bottled-in-bond standards produce a wheated bourbon that competes with far more expensive and allocated alternatives. For Weller or Maker's enthusiasts seeking a new wheated bourbon of genuine quality, Wilderness Trail delivers with conviction.
