Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Bottled In Bond (Batch 16F21Q), 50%
Price: $48 ● Issue: Winter 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming
Earthy notes of dried leaves, cut grass, and dried herbs on the nose. A thick palate, with cooked berries, grape jelly, tobacco leaf, and chile pepper. This is powerful and needs water, which brings out cocoa, coffee ice cream, cinnamon bun, and bitter oak. On the finish, the oak integrates with orange candy, cherries, cinnamon, camp coffee, and chocolate. Overall very flavorful, though perhaps just a bit barrel-forward.
