WhistlePig 10 years Straight Rye

WhistlePig Whiskey kicked off our Rye Whiskey journey with the Quintessential Rye - our Small Batch Rye, Aged 10 Years - it’s the one that started it all. True to our original Master Distillers’ vision, it’s a high Rye whiskey with a bold, spice forward whiskey that offers new layers of flavor with every year of age. And at 100 Proof, it’s versatile no matter how you drink it. Ingenuity, determination, and a fearless pursuit of flavor led us here, and we never turned back.

By the way, this whiskey was distilled and largely aged in Canada.

More about Whistlepig

WhistlePig is a high-quality American rye whiskey founded in 2007 by Raj Peter Bhakta in Shoreham, Vermont. What began as an ambitious search for the perfect rye whiskey led to the establishment of a distillery on a historic 500-acre farm. WhistlePig has quickly established itself as a leading brand in the world of American whiskey, best known for its focus on rye, a grain often associated with spicy, powerful flavours.

A unique feature of WhistlePig is the use of 100% rye in their whiskey, resulting in an intense and complex flavour profile. The whiskeys are initially matured in new American oak barrels and then further aged in different types of casks, such as ex-bourbon and sherry casks, providing additional layers of depth and nuance. Tones of caramel, vanilla, spice and a subtle fruitiness characterise WhistlePig's flavour.

The Vermont location offers an ideal climate for maturation, and the distillery even has its own rye fields, giving them complete control over the production process, from grain to glass. Praised worldwide for its craftsmanship and innovative approach to rye whiskey, WhistlePig is considered a pioneer in the revival of this classic American spirit.
