- Description
With notes of English candy and American oak, this is a whisky that will benefit from ageing.
Whistle Pig
The Whistle Pig 10 year old is the first whisky produced by the distillery, and it is with this whisky that everything started. In 2007 the Whistle Pig team bought an old farm in Vermont to create their distillery. With the help of their master distiller, they set out to find a stock of whisky to create their first blend. It was then that they discovered a stock of Rye Whisky aged in the Great North and underused. Thanks to this fund, in which they saw the potential, they were able to launch their production and create their very first whisky: the Whistle Pig 10 Year Old.
Tasting notes
Colour: A lovely golden colour, reminiscent of maple syrup.
Nose: Rather greedy, we find notes of allspice, orange peel, oak anise and caramel.
Palate: Sweet, the palate reveals aromas of caramel and vanilla completed by mentholated flavours which bring a little freshness to the whole.
Finish: Long and very greedy, the finish is dominated by caramel.
Versatile, the Whistle Pig 10 Year Old can be enjoyed in many ways. In cocktails in Manhattans or Sazeracs, it can also be enjoyed more simply, on the rocks.
What is Rye Whisky?
Made from a minimum of 51% rye, rye whiskey was for a time classified as "endangered". In full revival since the early 2000s, Rye is still reduced to a handful of expressions that continue to seduce connoisseurs.
Unlike other whiskies, Rye evolves enormously over the years. While in their youth, their notes evoke spices, caramel and sometimes even vanilla, beyond 10 years of ageing, pepper and honey take over.
