About this bottle
Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Kentucky Rye Straight Cask Strength, a Bourbon Enthusiast pick from Barrel 17D13-4, is built from Wilderness Trail's signature 95% rye, 5% malted barley mash bill, one of the highest-rye recipes in commercial use. At 4 years old and bottled at cask strength rather than cut down with water, it carries real intensity: sweet caramel, toasted oak, and baking spices on the nose, with dark fruit, baking spices, and a hint of pepper on a full-bodied, complex palate. The finish runs long and smooth with oak and spice trailing off. This is a young rye that drinks older than its age statement.
How to drink Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Rye
Pour it neat first — cask strength means you control the dilution — and add water a few drops at a time if the proof runs hot.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Kentucky Rye Cask Strength (Barrel 17D13-4)?
Neat or with a single large ice cube in a rocks glass lets the aromatics open up; a tulip-shaped glass like a Glencairn is best for nosing. Once opened, keep the bottle upright in a cool spot out of direct light — whiskey doesn't spoil, but it slowly loses aroma once the bottle is more than half empty, so it's best finished within a year or two.
