WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII - VIII The One That Made It Around The World 17 Year Old
WhistlePig The Boss Hog — The One That Made It Around The World
Straight Rye Whiskey | Aged 17 Years | Single Barrel | Barrel Strength | 750mL | The Boss Hog VII–VIII Special Release
Process & Profile
The One That Made It Around The World revisits The Boss Hog VII and VIII through a special straight rye release finished in the cask types associated with both chapters. Spanish oak and South American teakwood meet Philippine rum casks that previously held seven- and ten-year-old rum.
This seventeen-year-old single-barrel whiskey is presented with two Danforth pewter toppers depicting Magellan and LapuLapu. It is a separate special release from the standard Boss Hog VIII bottling; its barrel-strength alcohol content depends on the individual barrel.
