The story behind it

The maker

Wilderness Trail was founded in 2012 by fermentation experts Shane Baker and Dr. Pat Heist in Danville, Kentucky. Leveraging their deep scientific background in yeast strains and fermentation, they created a distillery focused on precision, sweet mash mashing, and chemical-free distillation processes.

How it is made

Distilled and bottled at the Wilderness Trail Distillery in Danville, Kentucky, using a sweet mash process instead of the traditional sour mash. This expression is aged in charred new oak barrels inside their dedicated wood-cladded rickhouses to optimize temperature fluctuations.
