Whistlepig 12 Years Whiskey

WhistlePig 12 Year Old World is a straight rye whiskey inspired by Old World barrel-ageing traditions. After more than a decade of maturation in new American oak, the whiskey is finished in three different European cask types: Madeira, Sauternes and Port, with Madeira casks making up the largest share of the blend.

This finishing regime brings a more elegant, refined side to the boldness of American rye. The nose offers caramel, vanilla and winter fruit, leading to a palate of rye spice layered with apricot, plum, raisin, date and honey. The finish brings dark chocolate alongside lingering winter fruit, caramel and vanilla. Bottled at 43% ABV and hand-bottled at the WhistlePig farm in Vermont, it is a rewarding rye for sipping neat.
