Producer Information: Wilderness Trail Distillery
Wilderness Trail Distillery, located in Danville, Kentucky, was founded in 2012 by Shane Baker and Pat Heist, both of whom brought deep backgrounds in fermentation science and engineering to the heart of bourbon country. Their approach centers on a meticulous grain-to-glass philosophy that highlights locally sourced grains from Kentucky farms and a unique sweet mash process rather than the more common sour mash method. This technique preserves the integrity of each batch’s flavors while showcasing the region’s agricultural richness. Beyond their flagship bourbons and rye whiskeys, Wilderness Trail also crafts small-batch vodka and rum, each reflecting their commitment to scientific precision and local terroir within central Kentucky’s storied distilling landscape.

American Whiskey is a distinct category of distilled spirits primarily made from grains such as corn, rye, barley, and wheat. This spirit is characterized by its unique distillation methods—either pot still or column still—and is aged in new charred oak barrels. The aging process varies by type; for instance, straight whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years. The flavor profiles differ significantly among styles: Bourbon offers sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of spice, while Rye Whiskey presents a spicier character with peppery undertones and citrus hints.
The texture of American Whiskey can range from smooth to rich, depending on the specific style being enjoyed. Regions like Kentucky are renowned for Bourbon production, while Tennessee is known for its mellow Tennessee Whiskey that often undergoes charcoal filtering. Commonly used in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, American Whiskey can also be savored neat or on the rocks. Understanding terms like mash bill and proof further enhances appreciation for this versatile spirit.
