LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The benchmark for premium rye. It is big, loud, and spicy—a whiskey that refuses to be ignored and has single-handedly revived interest in the 100% rye category.

The Library Note

Founded in 2007 on an old dairy farm in Vermont, WhistlePig set out to prove that rye could be a luxury spirit. Sourced from Canada and aged in Vermont, this 10-year-old expression is pure, unadulterated rye—bottled at 100 proof to preserve its massive character.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Intense spice. Allspice, ginger, and clove are balanced by notes of orange peel and anise.

THE PALATE

Bold and racy. A massive hit of rye spice, caramel, and vanilla, with a unique hint of fresh mint.

THE FINISH

Long, warm, and spicy with a lingering sweetness of butterscotch.
