Wilderness Trail Distillery Unveils Rare, Exclusive Visitor Center Only Limited-Edition 10-Year-Old Wheated Bourbon Celebrating 250 Years of The Wilderness Road

DANVILLE, Ky., Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Wilderness Trail Distillery is proud to unveil a limited-edition 10-Year Wheated Bourbon, crafted specifically to commemorate the 250th anniversary of The Wilderness Road —the historic Kentucky trail that played a pivotal role in America’s Westward expansion.

A Rare Second Wilderness Trail 10-Year Bourbon Release

This marks only the second public release of a 10-year-old bourbon from Wilderness Trail. The highly anticipated barrel-proof, small-batch bourbon became available exclusively at the Wilderness Trail Distillery Visitor Center on December 12, 2025.

Unique Mash Bill and Historical Connection

A tribute to the region’s pioneering spirit, the release features a unique mash bill never before bottled by the distillery, comprised of 51% corn, 45% wheat, and 4% malted barley. The limited offering connects the distillery’s modern production techniques and craft to the enduring legacy of the trail on which it stands, just miles from the original Wilderness Road.

Hand-Selected Barrels and Small-Batch Craftsmanship

For this commemorative edition, Wilderness Trail Distillery Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Pat Heist, along with his esteemed distilling team, hand-selected three standout 10-year-old barrels, each showcasing unique character and resulting in a distinguished, balanced, barrel-proof small batch offering that highlights depth, maturity, and refined complexity.

Wilderness Trail 10-Year Bourbon – A Limited Release with No Future Batches Planned

“We intended for this release to embody the same balance, character, and discovery that defined the Wilderness Road itself,” remarked Dr. Heist. “These barrels represent ten years of patience and precision, and this blend has resulted in a bourbon with incredible harmony that showcases deep oak, vivid sweetness, and a finish that lingers.”

Only a limited number of bottles of this distinct mash bill will be available and once sold, no additional releases are planned. Will you be picking up a bottle of Wilderness Trail 10-Year Bourbon?
