The story behind it

The maker

Wilderness Trail was founded in 2012 by Shane Baker and Pat Heist, who brought their expertise in fermentation and industrial microbiology to craft distilling. Their scientific precision and focus on local grains have made this Kentucky distillery a highly respected name in modern craft whiskey production.

How it is made

Produced by the Wilderness Trail Distillery in Danville, Kentucky, using a sweet mash fermentation process rather than the more common sour mash method. The distillate is entered into the barrel at a low entry proof and matured in toasted and charred oak barrels within their traditional wooden rickhouses.
