Wilderness Trail Family Reserve Cask Strength Barrel No 771229 DSP-KY-20005 HIPRO 750ml

Wilderness Trail Family Reserve Cask Strength is a single-barrel Kentucky whiskey (Barrel No. 771229, DSP-KY-20005), bottled at full barrel proof with no water added. Wilderness Trail runs two Family Reserve mash bills — a high-rye recipe and a wheated recipe — both built on cooper-select, toasted and number-4-char barrels. This barrel carries its own specific character rather than a blended house profile, the way any single-barrel pick does. Wilderness Trail's sour-mash process and proprietary yeast strain give the whiskey a cleaner grain expression than many Kentucky bourbons. Start it neat, then add water in small increments to find where the barrel opens up.

How to drink Wilderness Trail Family Reserve Cask Strength

Whether this barrel runs high-rye or wheated changes the right approach — taste it neat first to identify which, then decide: high-rye rewards a Manhattan, wheated is better suited to sipping on its own. Either way, add water in small pours rather than ice.
