WhistlePig 15 years Estate Oak Rye

One of WhistlePig’s oldest whiskeys, Estate Oak Rye is for the true connoisseur of Rye. It takes its name from our Vermont Estate Oak, where it finishes its long, 15 year life. Sustainably harvested right off our 500-acre farm, the wood has more rings than the standard American oak used in whiskey barrels, imparting more flavor during maturation. Custom toast and char profiles takes the flavor even further, just like a perfectly toasted marshmallow. Hitting the bottle at 92-proof, the liquid is assertive and wise beyond its 15 year age statement, and boasts a score of 97 points from Wine Enthusiast. A pure expression of Vermont’s finest, our favorite way to enjoy WhistlePig 15 is fireside on a crisp evening with a perfectly toasted marshmallow.

By the way, this whiskey was distilled and largely aged in Canada.

Awards:

97 Points from Wine Enthusiast, one of the highest rated Rye Whiskeys of all time. Certified Kosher.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Deep and rich, dominated by caramel, vanilla, and oak with hints of allspice and burnt orange.

Palate: Warm, rich, and slightly creamy. Loads of butterscotch and baking spice with leather and a hint of tobacco.

Finish: Ultra long and rich, warm, and inviting.

More about Whistlepig

WhistlePig is a high-quality American rye whiskey founded in 2007 by Raj Peter Bhakta in Shoreham, Vermont. What began as an ambitious search for the perfect rye whiskey led to the establishment of a distillery on a historic 500-acre farm. WhistlePig has quickly established itself as a leading brand in the world of American whiskey, best known for its focus on rye, a grain often associated with spicy, powerful flavours.

A unique feature of WhistlePig is the use of 100% rye in their whiskey, resulting in an intense and complex flavour profile. The whiskeys are initially matured in new American oak barrels and then further aged in different types of casks, such as ex-bourbon and sherry casks, providing additional layers of depth and nuance. Tones of caramel, vanilla, spice and a subtle fruitiness characterise WhistlePig's flavour.

The Vermont location offers an ideal climate for maturation, and the distillery even has its own rye fields, giving them complete control over the production process, from grain to glass. Praised worldwide for its craftsmanship and innovative approach to rye whiskey, WhistlePig is considered a pioneer in the revival of this classic American spirit.
