Appearance:
Nose:
It’s subtle with floral and citrus. The fragrance is faint and not overpowering. There’s a sweetness of honey, vanilla, and brown sugar.
Palate:
The flavors are light, thin and a little prickly. There’s pepper, smoky citrus, plum and kumquat. The finish has a bit of a pepper burn but it’s tempered by the candied sweetness.
Finish:
Comments:
Overall the balance of pepper and sweet is very nice. Wiggle Bridge Bottled in Bond Bourbon is hot and pleasant. It tastes of a classic bourbon. The pepper tingles your taste buds while the simple syrup coats and smooths the burn. Some might say it’s a bit prickly but in a really nice way. It’s tangy, sweet, and peppery. The mouthfeel is light and thin but very balanced.
