Whiskey WhistlePig was born from a deep fascination with rye whiskey. Rye, which primarily provides spiciness and less sweetness than other grains, proudly makes up almost 100% here, although 51% would be enough to classify it as rye whiskey. Today, this whiskey boasts the title of the most awarded rye whiskey in the world and continues to push the category further. And it was a former dairy farm, in the quiet, secluded area of the town of Shoreham, Vermont, that became the place where this adventure began in 2007. The motto of the group of people around WhistlePig whiskey is simple: protect what makes rye whiskey unique, get rid of the unnecessary, constantly innovate and drink your failures (often literally). Thanks to this, WhistlePig whiskey was awarded "Best Whiskey in the World" in 2017 at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco.
Aged for 12 years, it was then transferred to mature in three different casks: 63% in Maidera casks, 30% in Sauternes casks and 7% in Port casks. A perfect symphony.
Aroma: Dates, raisins, honey, marmalade and apple pie.
Palate: Apricots and honey, complemented by notes of spices, plums, caramel and a subtle hint of mint.
Finish: A rich taste of fruit, alternating with notes of oak, dark chocolate and butterscotch.
