Wigle Straight Wheat, 50.35%

Wigle's proud to have a full 2 years of age on this organic wheat whiskey. It's small-barrel dark, but the nose isn't a ripper: it's 100 proof hot, but sweet with grain and even light fruity notes (pear and ripe melon). There's no denying it's aggressive, especially for a wheat whiskey, but the small-barrel oak blends well with the grain, giving a robust set of flavors: oak, hard candies, grilled fruit. A bit loud, a bit pushy, but endearing.
