Wilderness Trail Distillery is a 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 from 5 to 7 years. Wilderness calls itself the city's "oldest legal distillery". The brand is distributed in (KY, OH, MI, TN, IL, GA, VA, DC, DE, MA, MD, TX, CA, WA, NV, AZ, FL, MN, IA, WY and NY).[1] Wilderness restored the Willis Grimes House, an 1869 historic Home used for their offices, and moved its main distilling and warehousing operations there in 2015. Their campus rests on 163 acres in Boyle County.[2]
