Wigle Wry Rusky Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The initial sniff hits the nasal passages with a firm but pleasant wave of slightly smoky oak with a sweet undercurrent of vanilla and a touch of lemon and salt, giving it all a tropical island feel.

Palate: Mulled wine like cinnamon, cloves, freshly ground black pepper with an undercurrent of what should have been obvious: rye. That intensity builds until swallowed, which then unleashes a wave of allspice, rye, toasty peat smoke and a touch of toffee that combine to form an earthy yet almost tangy sensation.

Finish: The spicy rye tingles the mouth for the next few moments before settling into a dark caramel flavor.
