Wilderness Trail Distillery

Wilderness Trail Distillery is a family owned distillery in Danville, Kentucky that started operation in 2013 and calls itself the city's "oldest legal distillery". The distillery's primary offering is sweet mash Bourbon whiskey. It also creates Harvest Rum and Blüe Heron vodka. They are on the famed Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour.

In 2016, Wilderness Trail moved into a new distillery built at its 23-acre site of all of their Barrel houses and began using a historic house, the renovated 1859 Willis Grimes house, as a visitors' center. There are two barrel houses totaling 13,000 barrels. The distillery can process around 2+ barrels per hour from an 18" Vendome copper Bourbon Column Still and they have a hybrid Pot Still capable of making Vodka and other spirits. The award-winning distillery mainly produces whiskey but distills a unique triple-distilled Blue Heron Vodka made from the actual double-distilled whiskey off the column and finished in the hybrid Pot Still. They also make a great Harvest Rum "with" Ky Sorghum molasses and aged in four roses freshly emptied Bourbon barrels. The distillery has never released a young whiskey or anyone else's whiskey, they are rare in that only Makers Mark before them actually started up, distilled and aged until over four years old before releasing its first whiskey. Wilderness Trail Distillery is known for its sweet mash process and utilization of locally grown wheat and corn. While making some whiskey from KY rye, the majority of their whiskey is a wheated Bourbon Whiskey.
