$181.00 $153.85
Whistlepig 100% Rye Whiskey is a fantastic brand of straight rye which is distilled and initially matured in Canada. Before being aged further, at the WhistlePig Farm in Vermont. This 10-year-old straight rye is made with 100% rye and delivers a full-on flavor profile of clove, mint, barrel char, creamy caramels, and butterscotch. Properly excellent stuff.
Fortune, superb taste and hustle lead to the discovery of aged Rye Whiskey stocks in Alberta, Canada. Escorted to the farm, finished, and hand-bottled. This Rye was rescued from its cringeworthy misuse as a blending whiskey. We pulled this diamond out of the rough and bottled it on its own, freeing it to become the most awarded Rye Whiskey in the world.
Whistlepig 100% Rye Whiskey produces 100-proof, straight rye, aged for at least ten years through a unique double-barrel process. WhistlePig was released in the summer of 2010 to great critical acclaim, earning 96 points from Wine Enthusiast, their highest rating ever for a rye whiskey, a “highest recommendation” from Spirits Journal, as well as accolades from The Wall Street Journal, GQ, Forbes, Maxim, Imbibe Magazine, and many others. As Master Distiller Dave Pickerell notes, these extraordinary honors both “humble and set a high bar” for the company.
Nose:
Fresh peppermint and herbal thyme initially, with sweet vanilla and marzipan developing. Creamy butterscotch, raspberry jam, and orange rind round it off.
Palate:
Warm baking spices, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice burst to life and are tempered by sweet muscovado sugar, bright oak, and dark chocolate. Vanilla cola and caramel shortbread linger.
Finish:
Medium-length, with warm rye spices, sweet malt, and sour cherries.
