Detailed Description
Wigle Whiskey practices grain-to-glass distilling methods, sourcing local, organic grains. Their rye expressions run the gamut, but the one , Wigle Straight Rye Whiskey, is their oldest expression that’s been aged at least two years. This spirit is made in the traditional Monongahela rye style (what Wigle calls the “big, rich, spicy cousin to every other rye whiskey”) that helped American rye become so popular.
Wigle Batch #3 Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose on Wigle proves almost nonexistent, with very faint notes of SweeTarts, banana cream pie, Luxardo Maraschino, and stale cigar. The nose comes off as almost dusty. After opening, the ghostly faint nose develops a little bit of generic, plain caramel scent.
Palate: Soft on the palate as well, Wigle follows through with ripe banana, white pepper, stale Wonderbread toast, marshmallow, and watery chocolate milk. Very light body and very quick legs suggest low residual sugar.
Finish: The finish brings white pepper from the palate, in additional to cardboard and fresh green pear. The finish itself is quite short and light, not leaving much of an impression of the dram.
