Have Any Questions?
What does “sweet mash” mean?
It refers to a fresh mash made for each batch, unlike sour mash which reuses part of a previous batch. It results in cleaner fermentation and more grain-forward flavor.
Is this barrel strength?
It varies slightly by barrel but is bottled-in-bond at 100 proof (50% ABV) for consistency and depth.
How is it different from Wilderness Trail’s Small Batch Rye?
This is a single barrel release, offering unique flavor profiles from one barrel to the next, compared to the blended consistency of a small batch.
Does it pair well with food?
Yes—try it with grilled meats, dark chocolate, or spicy dishes to complement its bold character.
