Whistlepig Piggyback Rye

Introduction

In the summer of 2018, the late, legendary Dave Pickerell returned to the Whistlepig barrel houses with one mission in mind: create the best Rye Whiskey for use in the world’s best cocktails. He knew he wanted a mash bill of 100% rye to capture a full-flavoured spice. He just needed to land on the ideal age statement and bottling strength to realize his dream. It didn’t take long for him to arrive at perfection: rye aged not less than six years, carrying a strength of precisely 96.56 proof. A sturdy thread of cinnamon and citrus binds it all together. Stir or shake as you choose. But always sip in good company.
