Wigle Quaker Strength Oat Malt Whiskey

Wigle is a largely organic, grain-to-glass distillery, and besides their rye-heavy core lineup, they’ve released a few whiskeys with beer-inspired mash bills over the years. Their Old Sap whiskey is modeled on a Belgian triple, incorporating pilsner malt, Belgian yeast, and maple syrup. This whiskey, their Quaker Strength Oat Malt Whiskey, is oatmeal stout-inspired, made with 57% malted oats and “a selection of dark roast malted barleys.” It’s aged 16 months in new, extra-small 15-gallon charred oak casks.

Wigle Quaker Strength Oat Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Oats are clearly the base for this as a strong smell of unsweetened plain oatmeal is readily present and most dominant. This is layered with baking chocolate, brownies, fresh biscotti, roasted malt, and the slightest hint of oak. A really unique combination that is quite enjoyable.

Palate: The oats carry through to the palate however they’re noticeably sweetened. They’re combined with the flavor of a piece of dark chocolate filled with coffee liqueur, along with faint hints of star anise, vanilla, and the the slightest hint of oak that you have to hunt for. This is a really a unique sipper.

Finish: A chewy coffee finish starts up the moment you swallow. This slowly morphs into a slightly dry mixture of baking chocolate and rich malted beer. This is a fantastic finish, with flavors lingering for several minutes.
