Released in 2016, the WhistlePig 15 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey is the oldest expression available from the renowned WhistlePig distillery in Vermont. This exceptional rye whiskey has been aged for over 15 years and finished in Vermont oak barrels, which have undergone a long toast and heavy char. The unique characteristics of Vermont oak, with its tight grain pattern due to shorter growing seasons and harsh winters, impart distinct flavors to this whiskey, making it a rare find in Europe. Sourcing its wood from their 500-acre Vermont estate, WhistlePig’s custom toast and char profiles further enhance the flavors, reminiscent of a perfectly toasted marshmallow. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 Proof), this exquisite whiskey is a testament to years of patience and craftsmanship, offering a complex and nuanced tasting experience.
This whiskey is produced by Alberta Distillers Ltd. in Canada and finished at WhistlePig's estate in Vermont.
