Whistlepig / Straight Rye Whiskey 12 Year Old World / 750mL
WhistlePig Whiskey is located on one of the oldest farms in Vermont. Cultivation began here in the early 19th century in what was then known as the hamlet Shaksboro. Steam engines replaced the lifeblood of the town - a grist and lumber mill powered by the Lemon Fair River - which still meanders through farm - and the town slowly dissipated until vanishing entirely in the 1930âs. The farm remained in operation until 2006 when it was purchased and renamed by WhistlePigâs founder Raj Peter Bhakta. WhistlePig Farm is being lovingly restored, a slow and painstaking process, in order to ensure that we produce the finest rye whiskey in the world. WhistlePigâs Master Distiller, Dave Pickerell, a luminary in the world of whiskey, is one of the nationâs preeminent master distillers. Before joining WhistlePig, Dave spent 14 years as Makerâs Mark Master Distiller in Loretto, Kentucky. However, he has since joined the WhistlePig team in order to create what he regards as his magnum opus: WhistlePig 100% Straight Rye Whiskey. To this end, we are proud to report that our first whiskey, a 10yr old Straight Rye Whiskey, was awarded by Wine Enthusiast itsâhighest everâ rating for rye whiskey at 96 pts.
