Wilderness Trail Single Barrel "Maple Bar"

Wilderness Trail Single Barrel — Maple Bar

High Rye Bourbon

Southern Spirits Exclusive | 5+ Years | 113 Proof

There’s a reason we keep going back to Wilderness Trail. The picks are done in a cozy, living-room-like setting with a wide range of killer samples—and sometimes, a barrel just speaks. Sample #4 had both Baker and me grinning before we even finished the first sip. Maple Bar was an undeniable winner.

A rich, sweet pour full of maple warmth and soft oak spice, this barrel is a reminder that age doesn’t define greatness—flavor does. Someone asked me, “Five years? That’s it?” And the answer is yes. That’s all it took for this whiskey to become a beautiful, balanced expression of what Wilderness Trail does best.

Eddie Russell once told me the real test of a distillery is their white dog—if the unaged spirit is good, the aged product will be too. That’s the standard I bring to barrel picks. I don’t ask for age. I just taste, and I let the whiskey speak for itself. This one said maple magic.

🥃 Tasting Notes:

• Warm maple syrup, brown sugar, toasted oak

• Silky texture with a lingering, slightly spicy finish

• Full-bodied without being overproofed
