History

Wilderness Trail Distillery describes itself as a distillery that combines modern science with old distilling traditions to create better whiskey and prove that tradition is not necessarily the only way. It is referred to as "The Road to Wilderness Trail" and hints at a journey to the distillery.

Production / Manufacturing

According to the page, Wilderness Trail works on optimizing old-world techniques with the help of modern science to achieve better whiskies. One of their slogans is Ingenuity from Grain to Glass, which emphasizes the focus on the entire process from grain to glass as well as the use of knowledge and technology to improve flavor and quality.

Products / Whiskey Series

Wilderness Trail produces at least three Kentucky Straight whiskeys as presented on the page: - Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon - Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon - Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Visit / Experiences

The site mentions opportunities to experience the Trail, including a tour in "Tour the Trail." Additionally there is a Private Barrel Program, where one can obtain private bottlings of Wheated Bourbon, High Rye Bourbon or Rye Whiskey at cask strength. These offerings show that they also experiment with small batches and private bottlings through private selections.

Philosophy

The philosophy at Wilderness Trail is to use modern science to optimize old distilling traditions and to challenge the notion that something must always be done in a certain way. They claim that this is to create better whiskeys and to prove that "the way it has always been done" is not necessarily the only way.
