WHERE OLD MEETS NEW AND YOU MEET OUR WHISKEYS
Wilderness Trail Distillery is a model for innovation and efficiency, nestled in historically traditional bourbon country in Danville, Kentucky. We’re proud to be the official 18th stop on the prestigious Kentucky Bourbon Trail, which stops at every signature distillery in the Bluegrass state.
The 19th-century farmhouse at the heart of the property (rumored as the origin site of the iconic Happy Birthday song) sits side-by-side with our pristine new-age distillery facility. We like to think of that juxtaposition of old and new as a fitting metaphor for our best-of-both-worlds approach to making world-class whiskeys.
MODERN DISTILLING MEETS SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is top of mind throughout our production process, from the freight we use for getting grains to the workforce operating in the barrel houses.
We’re always looking for ways to minimize our footprint. For instance, we’ve adopted a high-pressure ultrafiltration sub-system, which helps cut our waste in half. By utilizing these modern techniques, Wilderness Trail uses a fraction of the energy and water other distilleries need to cook and process grains.
