WhistlePig 15 Year Straight Rye Whiskey

Straight Rye Whiskey | 46% ABV | 92 Proof | 750 mL | Distilled in Canada, Finished and Bottled in Vermont | Aged 15 Years | Vermont Estate Oak Finish

Process & Profile

WhistlePig 15 Year Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a 100% rye mash bill and finished in barrels made from white oak harvested on WhistlePig’s farm in Shoreham, Vermont. It was the first WhistlePig release to use the farm’s own oak. The finishing barrels receive a long toast and a heavy char, bringing out caramel and vanilla alongside the rye’s baking spice.

The 15 years of maturation show in the shift from butterscotch and burnt orange to leather and tobacco. At 92 proof, the whiskey is slightly creamy, with a long, warming finish.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak with allspice and burnt orange peel.
