WhistlePig 15 Year Old Estate Oak Rye Whiskey

One of their oldest whiskeys ever bottled is also the first WhistlePig product finished in Vermont Estate Oak. Harvested right off their farm the wood has more rings than the standard American oak used in whiskey barrels. That gives it more opportunity to impart deeper flavors during maturation. Hitting the bottle at 92-proof, the liquid is assertive and wise beyond its 15 year age statement. And it boasts a score of 97 points from Wine Enthusiast. So they’re clearly not the only ones enamored by this pure expression of Green Mountain goodness.

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
