After years of working with distilleries around the world to provide fermentation advice and fermentation-related products, Shane Baker and Pat Heist decided to that it was time to launch their own premium craft distillery. So, in 2012, they opened Wilderness Trail Distillery in Danville, KY, with a focus on making the highest quality Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, Vodka, and Bourbon Barrel-Aged Rum.

Wilderness Trail specializes in making unique spirits from locally-grown grains to ensure quality, and adding a healthy dose of science in the process. Their spirits have received wide acclaim from industry experts and bourbon drinkers alike. We are so excited to welcome Pat Heist to Whiskey Bear so he can tell us more about the great work they are doing at the distillery and walk us through a tasting of some of Wilderness Trail’s signature whiskeys.

Tasting Flight is $20 and includes:
– Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Wheated Bourbon
– Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Rye Bourbon
– Wilderness Trail Single Barrel Rye
