This week on the Bourbon Showdown Podcast, we welcome the one and only Dr. Patrick Heist of Wilderness Trail!

This episode is a full-on master class for whiskey geeks—packed with fermentation talk, production deep dives, yeast strains, sweet mash, and the story of how Dr. Pat and his partner Shane Baker became known as the “Science Guys of Bourbon.” We walk through Wilderness Trail’s entire core lineup—the bourbon, the wheated bourbon, and the rye—before doing what we always do when we’re talking to good people about good whiskey… we DRINK IT. Dr. Pat breaks down how each expression is artfully crafted to showcase Wilderness Trail’s signature flavor definition and meticulous attention to detail all while walking me through the past, present and future of the brand on this weeks Bourbon Showdown Podcast! 

So pour a glass and get ready for a whiskey deep dive with one of the best in the business. Dr. Pat takes us to school on this week’s Bourbon Showdown Podcast!
