WhistlePig 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey is a 100% rye whiskey, aged for ten years in oak barrels. The whiskey was discovered by Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, who spent over a year on an exhaustive search of North America for the best rye whiskey. He believes that it embodies the perfect combination of proof, percent, and age, hitting "the sweet spot" in all three categories.
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, WhistlePig Straight Rye 10 Year Whiskey was rescued from its cringeworthy misuse as a blending whiskey. They pulled this diamond out of the rough and bottled it on its own, freeing it to fulfill its destiny as the most awarded Rye Whiskey in the world.
WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey 10 Year is hand bottled at the WhistlePig Farm Distillery in Shoreham, Vermont. The nose offers allspice, orange peel, anise, oak, char, and caramel. The palate is sweet with hints of caramel and vanilla, followed by ryespice and mint. The finish is long with warm butterscotch and caramel. It has bottled at 100 proof (50% Alcohol by volume). It is the spirit of entrepreneurship. Enjoy!
