WhistlePig 'Piggy Back' 6-Year Aged Rye Whiskey: A Bold Leap Forward

The Pursuit of Perfection

In the verdant landscape of Vermont, where tradition meets innovation, WhistlePig Distillery embarks on a journey of audacious experimentation with its 'Piggy Back' 6-Year Aged Rye Whiskey. With a commitment to doing things 100% - from a mash bill of 100% rye to achieving perfection in aging - WhistlePig stands out in the whiskey world. This spirit is a testament to the craft and a challenge to the conventions that have restrained rye whiskey's potential.

Craftsmanship and Character

'Piggy Back' 6-Year Aged Rye celebrates boldness and complexity with a 100% rye mash bill that ensures a spice-laden flavor profile unmatched in intensity and clarity. Aged for six years, this whiskey achieves a delicate balance, reaching a point of perfection that WhistlePig proudly showcases. With a unique strength of 96.56 proof, it's crafted to excel both neat and in cocktails, embodying the optimal balance of power, sweetness, and bitterness.

Sensory Journey

The 'Piggy Back' offers a sensory exploration, starting with a nose of fresh cinnamon, black peppercorn, and a tantalizing hint of tangerine and grapefruit zest. The palate is greeted with a robust spice wave intertwined with notes of cocoa, cardamom, and cured leather, leading to a lengthy finish enriched with baking spices, vanilla, and subtle citrus hints.

Award-Winning Excellence

The 'Piggy Back' Rye has not gone unnoticed in the spirits world, securing a Double Gold at the World Spirits Competition and earning 93 points from Wine Enthusiast. These accolades speak volumes about its quality and the mastery behind its creation.
