Wigle Reserve Pennsylvania Bourbon Madeira Cask

Description

This Madeira-kissed bourbon is a sun-soaked delight, its golden hue hinting at the treasures within. It wafts a warm aroma of candied pecans, toasted almonds and sweet, creamy custard, beckoning a closer sip. On the nose, swirls of vanilla mingle with a whisper of orange zest, as if sunshine itself danced beneath the surface.

The first taste unfolds like a molten toffee waterfall, cascading over the tongue in waves of rich brown sugar. But beneath the sweetness lies a whisper of something more complex: dried fruits, figs and dates hinted at, mingling with the warmth of honeyed oak. Hints of the Madeira peek through, a whisper of caramelized orange dancing on the back palate.

The finish is long and luxurious, like a lingering sunset. Toffee lingers, chased by wisps of vanilla and the ghost of that orange kiss. It’s a bourbon that beckons contemplation, its layers unfolding with each thoughtful sip. This is a drink for the armchair adventurer, a journey for the senses through dappled sunlight and warm, oak-lined libraries. It’s a testament to the magical way Madeira’s legacy transforms bourbon, whispering tales of faraway voyages and sun-drenched vineyards with every drop.
