Wilderness Trail Bottled in Bond Rye

This is a sweet mash bill of  50% Rye, 33% Corn and 11% Malted Barley. The nose has aromas of fresh dill with a light pickle brine mingled with soft caramel, roasted cardamom and fresh threshed rye. The palate has a milk chocolate smooth texture. It's floral with sweet basil, honey, barrel spice and white pepper to keep it from being sweet. D&M Tasting Notes

Our Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskeys are offered as a Cask Strength release. Once our traditional sweet mash process is distilled in our column stills we enter the barrel at the lowest entry proof we know of in Kentucky. We barrel at 100 proof and 105 proof to highlight the balance of the distillate and alternate solubility expression we get from the barrel at a lower proof. We also barreled at a gradient of proofs between 100 and 120 proof for our first few years before settling into 100 and 105 proof. This is the reason you will find releases of our cask strength Rye varying in proof. Distillery Notes 50% ABV
