Tasting Notes

About:

92 proof, 46% ABV. Batch number two and aged six years in new, charred American oak barrels. Mash bill consists of 80% wheat and 20% malted barley. ~ $65 per 750ml bottle.
Appearance:
Color is a dark orange and appears slightly viscous. In the glass, legs were slow to appear and were few and far between.
Nose:
Sweet with a bunch of fruit. Definitely honey mixed with aromas of a flamed orange zest. From all signs thus far, you could tell that this was going to be a rich whiskey.
Palate:
Way more floral than initially expected. But also strangely dry. The usual suspects were there with notes of honey and a touch of citrus. Though the finish was brief, I was also able to pick up an essence of Earl Grey tea hanging out.
Finish:
Comments:
This was a weird one. Simply floral and funky. Given the mash bill, I expected more sweetness from the wheat element. It’s weird is all I can say.rnrnHowever, the Wigle portfolio is vast and given the choice I would lean towards some of their more traditional selections.
