Wild Parallel Straight Bourbon Whiskey is produced by Fox Trail Distillery in Rogers, Arkansas. It is made from a high-rye mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley. It carries an suggested retail price of about $35. Per the brand, it shows notes of dried fruit, honey, oak and spice.
Upon the first sip, a delightful burst of sweet red fruits captures the palate, soon escorted by a dry oak character that speaks to the bourbon's toasted finish. This interaction smooths out the expected harshness from its youth, presenting a flavor that feels more mature and rounded than its age would suggest.
