Episode 28: Wiggly Bridge Bourbons
Episode 28 is a special double tasting. I cover two bourbon's from Wiggly Bridge Distillery in York, Maine, USA. Tasting first the Small Barrel Bourbon that is bottled at 43% ABV, or 86 proof. Then the Bottled in Bond Bourbon that's bottled at 50% ABV, or 100 proof.
Special thanks to David Woods, Founder/Owner/Distiller of Wiggly Bridge for speaking with me and for providing the bourbons for the tasting.
Enjoy this episode with either of the Wiggly Bridge Bourbons, served neat, on the rocks, or in an Old Fashion if you like.
