• T8ke's Tasting Notes: A yin to yang of the rye, this barrel of Piggyback bourbon is also Vermont distilled and it's lovely - big, rich, oaky, bold bourbon. Heavy caramel and baking spice, cinnamon and red hots, caramel candies and big oak. The palate is rich, some fruits mingle - berries, cherry and blackberry settle with more pepper and oak. The finish is long, full of vanilla, creamy corn, honey and a hint of tobacco.

• T8ke's Tasting Notes: The quintessential rye king, these Piggyback barrels that are Vermont distilled are awesome crosses of quality and value - tons of big, bold, woody maple, herbal rye spice, toffee and black pepper that screams rye. At 6 years old and barrel strength, there's a rich palate, plenty of oak but without covering up sweet maple, peppy rye spice and an herbal note. Long finish, jammin' and lovely.

• T8ke's Tasting Notes:Warm pancakes and honey on the nose, syrupy and tobacco driven with lovely cinnamon, caramels, brown sugar and savory spices. It reminds me of our Pancake Breakfast release from way back in 2021 and it is lovely. Palate is rich and creamy, maple, blackberry, spicy rye, sweet cream and a hint of peaches, pancake syrup, and savory oak. Long finish, beautifully balanced at one of the higher proof releases I've had recently.

WhistlePig Double Malt 18 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey is a mouthful in both senses, and it's the oldest WP's release to date. This Rye Whiskey (79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley) spent full 18 years in the barrel and the result is a symphony of soft, floral rich and spicy flavors. Sweet and aromatic on the nose with notes of berries, nutmeg and toasted oak. Smooth and spicy dance of fruity and floral flavors, followed by vanilla and oak on the palate. Long, clean and spicy finish.

The Boss Hog Edition is the first American Whiskey finished using Japanese Umeshu, the result of a true collaboration between WhistlePig and Kitaya brewery on Japan’s Kyushu island. This well aged Straight Rye Whiskey was created using koji fermentation. Each bottle is adorned with The Samurai Scientist – Jōkichi Takamine – who pioneered koji fermentation in the American whisky industry over a century ago. Intensely aromatic, with cinnamon, maple, and toasted marshmallow that develops with time in the glass. Tobacco, ginger, baking spices, and savory umami creating a remarkably rich, nuanced and elegant profile lending to soft, sweet notes that further color the mosaic of flavor.

This 5th. edition of The Boss Hog, The Spirit of Mauve, is a 13 Year Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Calvados Casks in honor of our celebrity pet pig, Mauve’s undying love of apples. Mulled cider, cardamom, candied ginger and a touch of piper tobacco. Caramel, vanilla and gentle Rye spice develops with time in the glass. Maple syrup and pears are balanced by dark chocolate and French oak spice. With water, the spice moves front and center and a vibrant, fruit-forward character develops. Lasting spice and a touch of charred oak and caramel, maple syrup lingers as the finish fades.

At 92 proof & one of our oldest whiskeys, this is the first WhistlePig product finished in Vermont Estate Oak harvested right from our farm. Vermont oak has more rings than the standard oak used in whiskey barrels, and each ring is an opportunity to impart more flavor and depth in the whiskey. With a score of 97 points from Wine Enthusiast and perfected over 15 years, we are proud to offer this pure expression of Vermont’s best. Deep and rich, dominated by caramel, vanilla, and oak with hints of allspice and burnt orange on the nose. Warm, rich, and slightly creamy. Loads of butterscotch and baking spice with leather and a hint of tobacco. Ultra long and rich, warm, and inviting finish.
