Met Dr. Pat when he came to teach the fermentation portion of our Moonshine U class. We were staying at the Brown for the week. We didn’t know he was as well for the night so we were surprised when he came and joined us at the bar that night. He ordered an old fashioned then looked and saw we were having whiskey, so he stopped the bartender and said “give me some of MY stuff”. Legend.

@bryanmacke Год назад

haha! that is awesome! love Dr. Pat, and love how he stays down to earth

Wow you guys have an amazing talent in video production. Seriously impressive and 100% good enough to be on a Netflix special or something

@@TheMrChaddles We sure did! Thank you!

I waited way too long to watch this one. Great production value and wonderful insight by the team at Wilderness Trail. I think maybe the thumbnail doesn't do the content justice. That's not a knock on you guys! Just want lots if people to see this one!!

@ItsBourbonNight 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!! We're very proud of this video.

@brucelavender 11 месяцев назад

Wow, what a coincidence. I bought my first bottle of Wilderness Trail today; yellow label. This is also one of my favorite videos you have produced. Getting to know the people behind the spirit really ticks all the boxes for me. Research, hunting, and enjoying the pour is what makes this hobby so interesting and fun!

@primaltone Год назад

Met Chad tonight at a local Big Box store. Very cool to chat with about one of my favorite subjects: Bourbon! And yes, more videos like this, please. The WT Wheated is a favorite of mine.

@ItsBourbonNight Год назад

Hey, it was great to meet you!

@rogeredwards3563 5 месяцев назад

Their yellow label stuff has become one of my "go to" bourbons. Funny to think that I hadn't even heard of them six months ago...a random customer in the liquor store told me about their bourbon and how good it is so I took a chance and bought a bottle on the advice of a perfect stranger! Fast forward to current day...my wife and I toured their facility last week, met Cooper (the official distillery cat), and tasted (and purchased) a LOT of really good whiskeys. Next time I'm out on a bourbon trail excursion (probably this coming April) I will definitely stop by again. Really good people there who make some phenomenal "juice". 😀

@mrbourbonfromky733 Год назад

Wilderness Trails…one of my favorites. I have a 6 year bottle signed by Dr. Pat Heist

@jasono.1629 Год назад

Great interview and video Chad and Sara. I now ignore almost all craft distilleries even the big ones, after tasting too much youth, low complexity and spikey flavor notes in their young bottles. Wilderness Trail is the ONLY craft bourbon I buy. Particularly their Rye. They are the only craft distillery who are serious about product quality. Other than Wilderness Trail, I only (mostly) buy from the legacy distillers. Wilderness Trail is the only craft product I will buy because their product is good enough to compete with the big boys who have much older / richer flavored products than the craft distillers. Keep doing what you’re doing Wilderness Trail! 👍

@TMAquatics 7 месяцев назад

Just tried their Wilderness Trail wheated bourbon, and I must say it’s delicious. Will definitely be keeping some on hand.

@scottbennett6200 11 месяцев назад

I am late to the game but, Holy cow! That place is only 2 hours from Knoxville!!!! I will be making weekend trip SOON!!! I just visited Uncle Nearest, and it was a REALLY cool experience. Lots of history between there and Lynchburg. BUT now I gotta go to Danville!!! Thanks for the VID! CHEERS!

@graveshotx Год назад

Love Wilderness Trail! Feel like they might of sold themselves for too little. I did the tour and have been enjoying some phenomenal store picks from them. They clearly understand whiskey at a level deeper than the other major players. Hopefully Diageo doesn't screw things up. I can't wait to see what comes next from them!

@aussienscale 11 месяцев назад

Diageo ?

@joethesampleguy3414 Год назад

Great video y'all! Just stunning and informative. Gonna pour a Wilderness Trail now. One thing though, I've noticed some in the online whiskey community (commenters) abbreviating Wilderness Trail "WT". This is problematic because WT has been shorthand for Wild Turkey for more than my lifetime. Gotta a compromise somewhere...

@ItsBourbonNight Год назад

Thanks! And we’ve heard it from the horses mouth that they abbreviate WTD for Wilderness Trail Distillery.

@DarrellHudson12 Год назад

Great video. Very cool look at WT. Although, I've only tried a couple of WT, and it just hasn't been my favorite.

@1nsomniaK Год назад

This may be the best produced video you guys have ever put together. I'm impressed. I'm only pissed that these American companies making an AMERICAN spirit keep selling out to foreign companies. Boo.

@DeanM915 Год назад

Love this video. Just tried Wilderness Trail recently! Is there any other way to buy your Wheat Science bottle rather than online? I’m up in MA and shipping will add $20! I was hoping there was a physical place to buy it. I am coming down to KY in August with a buddy.

@ItsBourbonNight Год назад

Thanks! Unfortunately, at this time, online is the only way to purchase it.

@justadudeintheworldman.120 7 месяцев назад

Never had Wilderness Trail before, will try after this. This made me want to drink straight from the bunghole. Wait what

We can’t link to it directly but you search for Keg N Bottle, then click on Barrel Picks, then click on our logo and you’ll see it. Or follow us on Instagram, @itsbourbonnight and it’s linked in our bio!

We would go with the bottle that started it all, their Bottled In Bond wheated Bourbon.

@jlb9074 Год назад

Interesting interview. Wilderness Trail just isn’t my jam. It was the only distillery that I’ve visited that was exceedingly unfriendly when we visited last. Must be doing something right though - I just don’t get it.

@neilrobertson6849 Год назад

Fantastic! Great video and great bourbon. But seriously one of the ugliest bottles on the shelf. I hope with the acquisition we will get a label redesign.

@nvader88 Год назад

I love how Bourbon is exclusively American, yet these sellout distilleries sell to non-American companies. So, Wilderness Trail is not American. It's Italian. So, I guess they're actually distilling wine, just like wild turkey.
