Bourbon Review: Wilderness Trail Distillery Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This bourbon is certainly something to sit with. It’s got a little heat up front to remind you of its alcohol content, but never gets overwhelming. I get flavors of brown sugar, butter, and bread up front. This transitions to a rich mid note that tastes of alcohol, in a good way. There is just a hint of banana flavor that is more in line with that banana flavored candy than what was on the nose. This all finishes with a dry long finish of toasted oak, vanilla, and a bit of black pepper spice. The addition of water to this upped the sweetness and spice but made a lot of the individual flavors disappear. For me this is much more interesting out of the bottle than when diluted.
