Process & Profile

WhistlePig 12 Year Bespoke Barrel Rye Whiskey Maple Crème Brûlée Cask is a limited cask-finished rye built from WhistlePig’s 12 year rye whiskey program. The Bespoke Barrel format allows select custom barrel expressions, giving this release a unique dessert-inspired profile centered around maple sweetness, caramelized sugar, vanilla custard, oak, and rye spice.

Aged for 12 years and bottled at 86 proof, this rye keeps WhistlePig’s signature spice and structure while the Maple Crème Brûlée Cask finish adds a rich layer of toasted sugar, maple cream, vanilla, caramel, baking spice, and warm oak. The result is a smooth, flavorful rye whiskey with a sweet finish profile that still holds onto its bold rye backbone.

WhistlePig 12 Year Bespoke Barrel Rye Whiskey Maple Crème Brûlée Cask is a strong choice for WhistlePig collectors, rye whiskey fans, dessert-finished whiskey drinkers, gifting, and special occasion pours.
