About this bottle
A straight rye whiskey from United States from Wigle, Wigle Batch #3 Straight Rye Whiskey is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 47.2% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: The nose on Wigle proves almost nonexistent, with very faint notes of SweeTarts, banana cream pie, Luxardo Maraschino, and stale cigar. The nose comes off as almost dusty. After opening, the ghostly faint nose develops a little bit of generic, plain caramel scent; on the palate: Soft on the palate as well, Wigle follows through with ripe banana, white pepper, stale Wonderbread toast, marshmallow, and watery chocolate milk. Very light body and very quick legs suggest low residual sugar; finish: The finish brings white pepper from the palate, in additional to cardboard and fresh green pear. The finish itself is quite short and light, not leaving much of an impression of the dram.

Serving & pairing
Rye’s peppery spice is the classic base for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. Pairs well with charcuterie and dark chocolate.
Rye versus bourbon — what is the difference?
Both are American whiskeys aged in new charred oak. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which gives sweetness; rye must be at least 51% rye grain, which gives pepper, spice and a drier finish. Canadian whisky is often called “rye” by tradition even when the mash bill contains little rye.
