Combining ingredients (see 📸2) from Japan, Scotland, France, and Spain, I’ve dubbed this cocktail experiment The World Tour. Both herbal and sweet, and look at that color! Highly recommended. Cheers! Haven’t revisited Wilderness Trail Rye in a handful of years. This bottle got lost in the bunker back in 2020 or so. I’d picked it up on sale. It’s as fresh and delightful a rye as I remember it. Cheers! This Wild Turk- er, I mean, Whiskey Barons Collection release came and went pretty uneventfully back in 2017. But now with the Bourbon Boom dust settled I can appreciate it for what it is, a solid replication of a good ol’ fashioned bottom shelfer. Cheers!
