Wilderness Trail 6 Year 'Bottled-in-Bond' Bourbon Gifts

Wilderness Trail 6 Year 'Bottled-in-Bond' Bourbon GiftsFrom a mash bill of 64% corn, 24% rye, and 12% malted barley (known at Wilderness Trail as mash bill B5), this was barreled in 2014 and comes to us Bottled in Bond, at the stipulated strength of 100 proof. One of the States' finest craft whiskey distilleries currently working, this properly aged bourbon leans into the earthier side of things: woods, mushroom, earth, dark spice. Not a sweet treat, but a mature and thought provoking whiskey.

A beloved choice for whiskey enthusiasts

and tons of orange peel—not too bitter

for 30 years (before it was more common or cool)

So much more interesting and complex than Old Overholt or Bulleit Rye

Gorgeous stuff

all macerated in a New York corn-based spirit

then blended across all of the production

It's a native red grape that often smells of brambly fruit

Better than Captain Morgan by a mile

Subtle stuff

This wine is stunning—one that Loire Valley or drinkers of juicy Ardèche wines will love

"not to be underestimated" just because it's at a price range within reach
