The Distillery WhistlePig was created from a farm that was acquired in 2007. After a rebuild it could be opened in 2015. Master Distiller Dave Pickerell designed especially for the distillery Copper Stills, which are now in use 7 days a week. The goal of the distillery is to produce the best and finest rye whiskey in the world. Rye in its origin, inspired by Old World barrel aging traditions. This 12-year-old Rye Whiskey is a blend of whiskeys aged in New American Oak and refined in Port (7%), French Sauternes (30%) and Madeira barrels (63%). The elements most important to an American rye - boldness and character - are fused with the elegance and grace of an 18-year-old Scotch. Tasting notes:Colour: Gold with amber accents. Nose: caramel, vanilla, winter fruits. Taste: Rye spice, apricots, plums, raisins, dates, honey. Finish: Long lasting, dark chocolate, winter fruits, caramel, vanilla.
