The story behind it

The maker

WhistlePig was founded in 2007 on a historic 150-year-old farm in Vermont, with a mission to revive the premium rye whiskey category. Led by the visionary late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, the estate has become one of the most celebrated and innovative rye whiskey producers in the world.

How it is made

This rye is distilled and aged at the WhistlePig distillery and rickhouse estate in Shoreham, Vermont. It is aged for six years in charred American oak barrels to develop its robust, grain-forward spice and complex woody backbone.
