WhistlePig 15 Year Old Vermont Oak Estate Rye Whiskey

This 100% rye mash whiskey debuted in May 2016 and is the oldest expression to date in WhistlePig's lineup. While waiting for the distillery's own whiskey to finish aging, they use juice sourced from Canada to bottle as their own. It has spent 15 years maturing in three types of casks: new, charred American oak barrels; former bourbon barrels; and new, charred Vermont white oak. It was developed with terroir in mind as the star of this show is the white oak grown on the Vermont distillery's estate in Shoreham. It is bottled at 46% ABV.

WhistlePig 15 Year Old Vermont Oak Estate Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Strong notes of sweet toffee right away, rich and buttery. A slight hint of citrus.

Palate: Warm caramel on the tongue, quickly hits with black pepper, clove and a bit of fresh oak. The oak reveals itself as mild earthiness, like raw almonds, slightly bitter.

Finish: The spice is light but lasting, giving a good heat and warm finish that leaves your tongue ablaze.

With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, they discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused.
