WhistlePig Farm 18 Year Old Double Malt Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml

Manufacturer's notes: At WhistlePig, we are committed to crafting the world's finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys.

After years of devotion to patient aging and innovative blending, we've turned our attention to experiments with grain - in particular the bygone practice of malting rye. Before industrial catalysts were introduced to increase efficiency, farmer distillers would malt a small portion of their rye harvest in order to access the grain's starch content and set off the fermentation process. Floral,  earthy flavors imparted by malted rye would add nuance to the bold, peppery spice character of classic rye whiskey. 

To harness these flavors for our oldest expression of WhistlePig yet, we selected a whiskey distilled from 79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley. These grains form a harmony that spans the flavor spectrum, at once soft and floral, rich and savory and full of spice. Its complexity is only heightened after 18 years in the barrel.

Hand bottled on the WhistlePig Farm and presented with a bespoke glass stopper.
