Wigle Deep Cut Rye (Batch #5)

“Local heirloom rye grains” are distilled (less than half a mile from the Monongahela River) in a copper alembic aged 14 months bottled at cask strength. Has a beautiful ruddy glow. Clean focused nose of fresh rye grain spicy-sweet with a nip of bitter oil in the back. Not a barn-burner even at 56% but brimful with rye spice rye oiliness and rye mint and not over-oaked either as the finish closes evenly. A bit direct but very nicely done!
