About this SPIRIT
Whistlepig
Acknowledged as the world’s most awarded rye whiskey, WhistlePig are making waves in the American spirits scene. Established in 2007 on a 500-acre farm in Vermont, they have dedicated themselves to crafting unique, interesting and appealing rye whiskies.
Rye whiskey is one of the original American spirits. With a mash bill of at least 51% rye, it has a bold, highly spiced, warm and distinctive profile.
In a bid to distinguish their whiskies further, WhistlePig use a variety of casks, including the Vermont oak from their own farm, charred and toasted to exacting specifications to add depth and complexities to the whiskey. WhistlePig 15 is finished in Vermont oak for one to three years, while the 12-year-old Old World Cask Finish uses ex-Sauternes, Madeira and Port cask.

Description
A gloriously spicy example of top-class rye whiskey here from our Vermonter friends at Whistlepig. Cinnamon balls and touches of eucalypt join some beautiful wood on nose and palate with developing waves of aged vanilla and well-loved antique oak furniture as the finish progresses. A cupboard classic, I’ll be drinking this with cakes and spiced pastries, please.
