WhistlePig 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey 700ml
Straight Rye Whiskey - 100 Proof (50% ABV) - 10 Years Old | Shoreham, Vermont
Crafted on a historic Vermont farm, WhistlePig 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold expression of American rye at its finest. Founded in 2007 with a mission to revive estate rye whiskey, WhistlePig has become synonymous with quality and innovation. This signature 10-year-old rye stands out for its full decade of aging in new American oak barrels, delivering a complex and robust profile bottled at 100 proof.
The whiskey opens with an inviting nose of fragrant cinnamon sticks, candied orange peel, fresh dill, and toasted rye bread, gently softened by caramel and a hint of mint. On the palate, it reveals a dynamic spice character featuring clove, nutmeg, and black pepper balanced by creamy vanilla fudge, dark fruit undertones, and charred oak. The mouthfeel is generous yet refined, culminating in a lingering finish of warm baking spices, toffee, and gently drying oak.
This decade-aged rye was a pioneering release that set a new standard for aged rye whiskey, combining boldness and elegance in a way few others have matched. While the grain is distilled in Canada, the aging, blending, and bottling take place entirely on the Vermont farm, showcasing WhistlePig’s dedication to craftsmanship and terroir.
