Descripción

The WhistlePig distillery was founded in 2007 on an acquired farm and officially opened in 2015 after extensive renovation work. Master Distiller Dave Pickerell developed custom-made copper stills especially for the distillery, which are now in continuous operation seven days a week.

This 12-year-old rye whiskey combines the best of both worlds: the powerful and characterful nature of American rye with the elegance and grace typical of an 18-year-old Scotch.

The composition of this whiskey is based on a careful selection of whiskeys, which are first matured in new American oak casks. They then undergo a refined post-maturing process in a unique combination of port wine casks (7%), French Sauternes casks (30%) and Madeira casks (63%).

This carefully selected combination of maturation gives the whiskey an exceptional depth and complexity that makes it both bold and refined.
