Whiskey Review: Wigle Organic Deep Cut Rye

The bottle warns that this Deep Cut is Wigle’s most “assertively rye-forward” and will please “just heroes.” That summary is essentially correct, assuming “heroes” are rugged frontiersmen who have lost the ability to taste anything but the most potent of flavors. While an excessively fiery rye didn’t appeal to my palate. it’s worth remembering that a fiery rye was what Wigle intended Deep Cut to be. I had pondered giving Deep Cut a lower rating for my personal experience, but I boosted their score to reflect Wigle accomplishing their objective. rnrnStill, I’d suggest you only drop that $75 on this bottle if you’re absolutely sure you want a very fiery, spicy blast of rye. I don’t typically do this, but in this case I’d recommend adding a few drops of water to your dram, though you still can pretty much just expect a tamer rye.
