Wilderness Trail

Wilderness Trail Distillery is a family-owned distillery in Danville, Kentucky that started operation in 2013. After spending over 10 years as consultants and providing yeast and optimization services to most of the industry, Wilderness Trail has three whiskies on the market: a Single Barrel Bottled in Bond, Kentucky; Straight Bourbon made with small grain wheat; another bourbon bottled in Bond; Straight Bourbon small batch of 12 barrels made with rye small grain; and a Kentucky straight Rye Whiskey single barrel cask strength. All are high quality and aged between 5-7 years.

Wilderness Trail, located in Danville, KY, was co-founded by bandmates Shane Baker and Pat Heist in 2006. Like other natives to the area, the founders’ families have a history in the bourbon industry, with Shane’s grandparents having been in the employ of Kentucky River Distillery and Stitzel-Weller.
