Wigle Pork Rye Straight Rye Finished in Port Barrels
Not stated Approximately 3 years rye + 2.5-3 years port barrel finish Rye Wigle Whiskey Pittsburgh, PA Not specified (rye-based with port barrel finish)
Nose

Powerful, port wine character, honey, sugar (Smackers cereal), Welch's grape jelly, fortified wine notes

Palate

Mouth-coating, oily, creamy, port wine comes through beautifully, still maintains whiskey character, sweet with grape and fortified wine qualities, not a sugar bomb

Finish

Sweet, grape-forward, balanced between port sweetness and whiskey structure

Very good
A gateway whiskey that successfully marries port wine's fortified sweetness with rye's structure, inviting new drinkers to explore whiskey without overwhelming them.
