Wilderness Trail Bourbon #767775

Barrel #767775 is a BAXUS-exclusive family reserve high-rye bourbon from the Wilderness Trail distillery, bottled at cask strength of 58.5% ABV. This barrel was selected at the distillery by members of the BAXUS team, as well as two community members chosen to join the trip based on the bottles of bourbon they had listed in their collections on the app. The legendary whiskey writer David Tao also participated in selecting this bourbon, which was chosen from among seven other options as the most outstanding of the lot. This particularly small barrel yielded only 144 bottles, rather than the standard 200, further highlighting its concentrated flavor profile. It was matured for 5 years in an ISC Classic #4 charred barrel and fermented with yeast strain 927. Wilderness Trail is one of the most innovative distilleries in the world, particularly renowned for its focus on yeast due to its long history as fermentation experts. In 2006, Dr. Pat Heist and Shane Baker founded FermSolutions, a consulting firm that created unique yeast strains and provided technical assistance to distilleries and breweries across the United States.
