Description
Aroma
The Wiseman first entices with a rich and inviting nose. Sweet aromas of caramel and vanilla mingle with a touch of citrus, hinting at the bourbon’s wheated component. Warming spices like allspice and a hint of peppery oak add another layer of complexity, hinting at the whiskey’s time spent aging in charred barrels.
Taste
The first sip delivers on the promise of the nose. A wave of creamy caramel and vanilla washes over the palate, followed by hints of baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The high-rye component shines through with a subtle peppery note, adding a touch of intrigue. The influence of the wheat comes through with a smooth, silky texture that is very pleasing.
Finish
The finish is medium-length, leaving a pleasant warmth on the tongue. The oak influence becomes more prominent here, with hints of cocoa and baking spices lingering alongside the fading sweetness of caramel. A touch of citrus zest adds a refreshing note that keeps the finish from being overly heavy.
