The story behind it

The maker

WhistlePig was founded in 2007 on a historic farm in Shoreham, Vermont, with a mission to revive the rye whiskey category. Led by legendary late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, the brand became famous for sourcing and finishing exceptional whiskeys before expanding to its own farm-to-glass distillation.

How it is made

Crafted by WhistlePig at their farm distillery and rickhouse, this expression honors the pursuit of bold whiskey styles. Developed to stand out in cocktails, this high-rye bourbon is aged for six years in char three virgin American oak barrels.
