Tasting notes
WhistlePig Old World Rye is a celebration of Old World flavors, born from extensive experimentation and traditional craftsmanship. After aging for over a decade in new American oak barrels, the whiskey is divided into three types of barrels, each contributing unique characteristics to the blend: 63% aged in Madeira barrels, 30% in Sauternes barrels, and 7% in Port barrels. Our master blender skillfully combines these flavors, much like a conductor composes a symphony.
