Five Trail Blended American Whiskey recently announced the release of its limited Batch 002 blend.
The first full-strength spirit from the Molson Coors Beverage Company, Five Trail debuted in September 2021 with Batch 001 – a blend of 4-Year Colorado single malt, 4-Year Kentucky four grain bourbon, 4-Year Indiana wheated bourbon and 13-Year Kentucky bourbon, cut to proof with Rocky Mountain Water.
Like its predecessor, Batch 002 is bottled in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Company but replaces the 4-Year Colorado single malt with 6-Year and the 13-Year Kentucky bourbon with 12-Year. It is bottled at 95 proof.
“The response to Five Trail has been overwhelming,” said David Coors, Vice President of Next Generation Beverages at Molson Coors. “Our team really loved the flavor profile we came up with for the inaugural release and wanted to keep Batch 002 in this same vein. Batch 002 is an homage to our debut expression, but with a few nuances stemming from the thoughtfully selected mixture of age statements, creating a complex and layered flavor profile. I hope whiskey drinkers and spirits enthusiasts will enjoy this release as much as the first, if not more so.”
Along with Batch 002, Five Trail also launched the following expressions (seen above) in limited quantities: Barrel Proof, takes the Batch 002 blend and bottles it at 119 proof; Cask Finish Series, bottled at 95 proof and it’s crafted from a blend of 4-Year Indiana wheated bourbon, 4-Year Kentucky four grain bourbon, 4-Year Colorado single malt and 7-year Indiana rye rested in Imperial Porter Barrels from the AC Golden Brewing Company; and Small Batch Blend, blended from a base of 4-Year Indiana wheated bourbon, 4-Year Kentucky four grain bourbon, and 8-Year Colorado single malt whiskey with 17-Year Tennessee whiskey and bottled at 95 proof.
“We’re thrilled to continue Five Trail’s journey with these new expressions,” said Kim Fox, Marketing Manager – Wine & Spirits. “Whether you’re a whiskey novice looking for a flavorful bottle or a whiskey connoisseur looking to expand your cask strength collection, we truly have something to satisfy everyone. We’re excited to keep experimenting and expanding our footprint in whiskey and beyond.”
Five Trail’s Batch 002 is sold for $59.99 in Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Nevada, New York, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.
