Whistlepig Whiskey
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Rye whiskey, defined by a mashbill of at least 51 percent rye grain, forms the backbone of WhistlePig's distillery in Shoreham, Vermont, where the farm estate also supplies oak for barrel production. The 10 Year Old establishes the house style with classic rye spice and herbal character, while the 12 Year Old World expression introduces European cask finishing - port, Madeira, and Sauternes barrels - adding dried fruit and wine-driven complexity. The 15 Year Estate Oak pushes further, using timber harvested directly from the Vermont farm. Roadstock and Smokestock represent limited festival-driven releases exploring different aging and flavor profiles. The Boss Hog II Spirit of Mortimer, a 13 Year single barrel bottling, represents the ceiling of the range, contrasting sharply with the more accessible 10 Year as an entry point.
