Distillery: Wigle Whiskey Distillery

Released as part of their Brewers Series, Wigles Malty Baere features Wild Angels yeast from Draai Laag Brewing Co., as well as four malted barley varieties. Many bourbon distilleries maintain their own yeast cultures, which they say contribute to the flavor of the spirit, as a previous Whiskey Wash article explains. This particular type of yeast is a wild yeast native to Millvale, Pennsylvania. Normally we ferment our mashes with yeast that is cultured in a laboratory and is sent to us in sterile vacuum-sealed bags, the company explained on their website. The Wild Angels yeast was brought to us from Draai Laag in four 5gal buckets that were poured directly into the mash tun.

Wigle Malty Baere Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Passionfruit and mango stand out in the scent, and are complemented by the smell of toasty nutmeg and butterscotch candies.

Palate: The notes of tropical fruit are at the forefront of flavor, melting into caramelly goodness and fresh-baked sweet rolls. It goes down so smoothly; its almost too easy to drink.

Finish: Sweet lingering after-taste is delightful.
