Detailed Description
Pennsylvania distillery, Wigle, is having fun with finishing barrels. Anyone can see that innovation is clearly running wild – just check out their line-up to see. The Wigle Oaxaca Rye crosses boundaries, celebrating Mexican and American heritage spirits. It’s Monongahela Rye whiskey finished in mezcal casks. This project is a true barrel exchange. Wigle provided Wahaka Mezcal a used rye barrel and Wahakas provided Wigle a reposado barrel. Reposado con Gusano is the only aged mezcal in their line. They take the Joven Espadín and age it up to six months in re-charred American oak barrels. If your curious, the Wahaka experiment is called Repo on Rye.
Wigle Oaxaca Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: It’s gentle on the nose with an aroma of lightly toasted bread and green apple.
Palate: It is full of black peppery spice on the front of the tongue.
Finish: Finish is very smooth.
