WHISTLEPIG 18YR 5TH NEW AMERICAN OAK & PX SHERRY VERMONT

WhistlePig Double Double Rye is patiently mellowed for 18 years. Before industrial distillation, America’s original farmers would malt a small portion of their grain to start fermentation, the essential step that turns water and rye into glorious whiskey. As a nod to the farmers, Double Malt Rye is crafted from a mash bill of Rye and Malted Barley. History aside, these grains unite in a show-stopping Rye Whiskey that stretches far and wide across the flavor spectrum. Its base of 91% Rye delivers bold, peppery spice, while 9% Malted Barley adds soft, floral and earthy character. To take the expansive palate of WhistlePig Double Double Rye even further, this year's edition undergoes a unique double barrel aging process in American Oak and Pedro Ximenez (PX) Sherry Casks, adding new layers of complexity with each barrel. The result is a masterstroke—a prize pig of a whiskey with warm, sweet notes and a never-ending finish. Each annual edition of our 18 Year is crowned with a bespoke glass topper, handmade in Vermont.
