Rye Whiskey, United States / Vermont<
A symphony of Old World flavors. The Whistle Pig Old World Rye is the result of long experiments inspired by the know-how of the Old World. After aging for more than a decade in new American oak barrels, the liquid is separated into 3 types of barrels which each bring a unique characteristic to the blend: 63% in Madeira barrels, 30% in Sauternes barrels. and 7% in Port barrels. Our master blender combines these flavors like a conductor composes a symphony.
