Wigle Organic Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey

Nose: Dill, rye Palate: Grain up front but quickly reveals a fruiter, vanilla profile Finish: Short, the sweet profile carries over with some spice at the end Located in Pittsburgh Strip District, this local craft distillery features a 68% organic rye, 18% organic wheat, 14% organic malted barley mash bill. The "wheated rye" takes the typical rye profile and brings out more vanilla, caramel notes on the palate. An interesting take on a rye that's perfectly fine to sip.

Pretty thin and light as ryes go, but perhaps that’s because it’s not all rye. It tastes a bit young, but has a very nice flavor and is quite rounded. Tobacco and spice. Basically no burn!

Compared to others this is a mild, but tasty, rye. The nose has anise, rye grain, tobacco and some honeyed fruit. The palate has the classic rye herbal notes, along with some cigar box mustiness and then some pepper at the back of the palate. The finish is mild but lingers for a nice long while. It is a little thin on the mouthfeel, probably due to the proof, but overall is an enjoyable pour.
