Wilderness Trail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Wilderness Trail has built its reputation on precision, heritage, and innovation—and their Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey showcases just how distinctive rye can be. Distilled in Danville, Kentucky, using a sweet mash process (rather than the more common sour mash), this rye delivers purity, balance, and vibrant flavour.

Crafted from a 56% rye, 33% corn, and 11% malted barley mash bill, it sits comfortably as a Kentucky-style rye, spicier than bourbon but rounder and more approachable than high-rye recipes. Aged in #4 char American oak barrels with toasted heads and bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof) as a Bottled-in-Bond expression, it reflects both tradition and meticulous attention to detail.

For enthusiasts seeking a rye whiskey with authenticity, complexity, and Kentucky craftsmanship, Wilderness Trail Rye is a must-have bottle.
