Wilderness Trail's Wheated Single Barrel Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Whiskey and Rye Whiskey are enjoying huge success with their release in the Mid-Atlantic market. The Rye Whiskey sold out in 27 hours and the Bourbon sales are predicted to follow suite. Shane Baker says, "Wilderness Trail is happy about that and the market is, too. Bottles continue to be hard to find. The Bourbon is leaving the shelves faster than it can be restocked." Whisky Cast just gave the Bourbon a 92 rating compared to a 90 for 15-year-old Pappy Van Winkle. Whisky Cast said, “Kentucky’s Wilderness Trail Distillery released its first Bourbon in the summer of 2018, and that release makes a statement. It takes a certain amount of confidence to make your first release a Bottled in Bond Single Barrel whiskey, and the whiskey justifies that confidence." Here's the Review. For anyone wanting to taste the Bourbon, a second release is planned for 10 a.m. Sept. 7 at the Danville distillery, 4095 Lebanon Road. The release coincides with the distillery hosting the KY State BBQ Festival, a weekend with celebrity pitmasters, music and shopping with vendors.
