The story behind it

The maker

WhistlePig was founded in 2007 when a band of whiskey pioneers purchased a historic farm in Shoreham, Vermont. Under the guidance of legendary Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, they set out to elevate rye whiskey to its rightful place among the world's finest spirits.

How it is made

Aged for twelve years in new American oak, this exceptional rye is uniquely finished in Madeira, Sauternes, and Port casks. This custom European finish is meticulously designed to temper the intense rye spice with elegant, sweet fruit characteristics.
