Five Trail Blended American Whiskey is crafted with Rocky Mountain water and Coors malt, featuring a blend of 51% four-year wheated bourbon from Indiana (51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malt); 36% four-year four-grain bourbon from Kentucky (60% corn, 26% rye, 10% wheat and 4% malt); 8% six-year single malt from Colorado (100% malt); and 5% 12-year bourbon from Kentucky (78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malt).
There are good and less-good examples of brewers moving into the dark spirits, however. For a first shot out of the Molson Coors cannon, this Five Trail shows a lot of promise.
Molson Coors Beverage Company enters the whiskey market with a unique blend of mashbills, but ultimately Five Trail Blended Whiskey has a hard time finding its own identity to help stand out in a crowded field.
