Intro:
A bonkers expensive release from our friends at the farm, Whistle Pig’s 18yr double malt rye whiskey is a $400, crystal clad limited edition featuring a unique mash bill. Leveraging 79% rye, 15% malted rye and 6% malted barley, this has the potential to be quite interesting. Bottled at 46% ABV.
-
Nose:
Bright orange peel, citrus, rye spice, clove, pepper and honey. Vibrant, funky and sweet.
-
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel, not too thick but plenty complex. Heat is well placed. Honey, praline, toffee and bright citrus sweetness. Lime zest, rising bread, brown sugar and clove.
-
Finish:
Long finish, rich and pepper. Tons of rye spice, raw pepper character. It’s rich, spicy, fruity, everything I love in a rye.
-
Overall:
Overall, this is really well executed. I was really wary of this release given the high price and the “collector” appeal that they seem to be going with but the quality is here and it’s extremely enjoyable.
