Get ready to explore one of Kentucky’s most innovative craft whiskey producers — Wilderness Trail Distillery, nestled in Danville, KY and known for blending modern science with traditional bourbon making to extraordinary results! Founded by fermentation experts who didn’t just want to follow tradition but elevate it, Wilderness Trail has quickly gained acclaim for its richly flavored, bottled-in-bond whiskeys and rye. Their core lineup includes a signature Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon — the first bottled-in-bond wheated bourbon released since Prohibition — with lush notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak that have won international awards; a bold High-Rye Bourbon with spicier, complex character; and a robust Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey that showcases rye’s vibrant herbal and fruit notes.

The distillery also offers exceptional barrel-strength private barrel releases and rare limited editions like their 10-year wheated bourbon commemorating the Wilderness Road’s heritage, making each bottle a conversation starter. Whether sipped neat, on the rocks, or dissected glass by glass, Wilderness Trail’s expressions promise to excite your palate and spark great discussion at our October meeting!
