RESPECT TRADITION, EMBRACE PROGRESS

WhistlePig

WhistlePig began when we purchased our farm in 2007. After a few years of deep consideration and personal reflection we committed ourselves to crafting the world’s finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, we discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused. That initial stock, for which we are forever grateful, is what kicked off our grand adventure. At WhistlePig, we believe Rye is the greatest distilled spirit for many reasons. Chief among these is our eagerness for a challenge. Rye is difficult to distil. It requires dedication, patience and precision, and - like a great Bordeaux - Rye is truly at its finest when given time to mature. Layer upon layer of flavour unveiling over time, only getting better with age. If it was easy, anybody would do it. But with Rye, the time and effort is worth the exquisite reward.

WhistlePig 12 - Old World Cask Finish

WhistlePig 12 - Old World Cask Finish

This 12 year-old Rye Whiskey is a marriage of whiskeys that have been finished in Madeira, Sauternes, and Port casks. “Old World” is a result of a 4 year long innovation experiment that included creating and examining dozen of unique finishes, blending, and input from over 500 bartenders. The result is a whiskey that takes the elements that are most quintessential in an American rye – boldness and character – and fuses them with elegance and grace of an 18 year-old scotch. Made by former Maker’s Mark Master Distiller Dave Pickerell

WhistlePig 15 - Straight Rye

WhistlePig 15 - Straight Rye

The first WhistlePig Rye Whiskey aged in Vermont Estate Oak. In partnership with ISC, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell designed a custom char and toast for our unique VT Estate Casks, made from oak trees harvested right from our farm and the surrounding area. Vermont oak has tighter grains, or more growth rings per inch. Each ring is an opportunity to impact more flavour and depth in whiskey. At 15 years old, this is some of the oldest Rye Whiskey in the world. 97 points from Wine Enthusiast – one of the highest rated Rye Whiskey’s of all time.

WhistlePig 18 - Double Malt Rye

WhistlePig 18 - Double Malt Rye

Dave Pickerell built WhistlePig in pursuit of crafting the world’s finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. After years of devotion to patient aging and innovative blending, we’ve turned our attention to experiments with grain – in particular, the bygone practice of malting rye. To harness these flavours for our oldest expression of WhistlePig yet, we selected a whiskey distilled from 79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley. These grains form a harmony that spans the flavour spectrum, at once soft and floral, rich and savoury, and full of spice. Its complexity is only heightened after 18 years in the barrel.
