Wilderness Trail Distillery is ready to introduce Small Batch Bourbon made with rye small grain. Samples will be available at one of the best places to enjoy central Kentucky fare, A Taste in Danville. This springtime event also is a feast for the ears for music lovers.
The Danville distillery’s third annual A Taste in Danville, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 27 at 4095 Lebanon Road, will be a day devoted to featuring some of the area’s best Bourbon, food and live music.
Wilderness Trail Distillery’s contribution to the Taste in Danville will be tastes of its Small Batch Bottled in Bond. Shane Baker and Dr. Pat Heist, the distiller’s co-owners, like high-proof whiskey, served neat, so they couldn't resist making this third expression a Bottled in Bond. The Small Batch joins a wheated single barrel bottled in bond Bourbon and Rye Whiskey, both enjoying rave reviews.
The 20 food vendors at A Taste in Danville represent a wide array of culinary offerings. Danville’s The Still at AMBRAbev offers Brazilian flair and Tut’s features Middle Eastern dishes.

Elmwood Inn serves up the finest teas, including Bourbon Black Tea. Refreshing lemonade is supplied by Nomelade. If a Bloody Mary or Bloody Susan is your style of waking up, stop by Bloody Kentucky for a bottle of their original or spicy mix. You can't miss their truck. It's an M1079, an American field office truck that was used in Iraq. For a light snack, there is Fox Run Beer Cheese in a variety of flavors or try Sadistic Mistresses all natural hot sauces.
