About Trails End Bourbon
Trail's End Bourbon is an 8-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon sourced from an undisclosed distillery, finished with Oregon oak staves by Hood River Distillers in Oregon, bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof). What makes it special is the unique secondary finishing in medium-toasted Oregon Garry oak, which imparts distinctive wood spice, nutty, and chocolate notes, setting it apart from traditional Kentucky bourbons—evoking the Oregon Trail journey from east to west. With a mash bill featuring ~10% rye, it's non-chill filtered for rich texture. Ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking balanced, flavorful value without hype, especially those who enjoy nuanced finishes. At $37.01 for 750ml, it compares favorably to pricier options like Rebel Yell Single Barrel, offering superior drinkability, mild proof, and complexity in the crowded sourced bourbon category—highly recommended for everyday sipping or cocktails.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromatic wood spices and floral notes lead, with sweet buttered corn, candied peaches, fresh mint, and hints of sandalwood emerging. Caramel, cream, baked goods, raisins, honey, and fresh wood create a light, inviting profile. Eucalyptus, coconut brown butter, and ample wood add depth without overwhelming.
👅 Palate
Maltiness opens into spicy sandalwood, nuts, orange peel, creamy butter toffee, and Mexican chocolate on the mid-palate. French toast, bold oak, vanilla bean, maple syrup, cotton candy, apple, anise, and nutmeg deliver a satisfying, chewy mouthfeel. Nutty cinnamon sweetness balances spice and fresh oak for enjoyable, non-overpowering flavor.
✨ Finish
Chocolate-covered hazelnuts, gentle spice, and a warming Kentucky hug linger subtly yet lengthily. Light spice fades to dry sweetness with traces of palate notes.
