Being as this being geared as a higher end expression, WhistlePig is putting this spirt in a decanter adapted from its traditional bottle shape, and accompanied by a Vermont glass stopper, custom made for the distillery by Burlington, Vermont-based AO Glass. Each individual stopper is unique, having been pressed by hand on what’s said to be “one of the last remaining 19th century glass pressing machines. The antique machine was rescued from a historic factory and installed at AO’s Burlington glass studio the same week WhistlePig’s second still was installed at the distillery in March 2019.”
“These grains form a harmony that spans the flavor spectrum, at once soft and floral, rich and savory, and full of spice,” said Pete Lynch, Master Blender of WhistlePig, in a prepared statement. “It’s complexity is only heightened after 18 years in the barrel.”
This whiskey, of which a limited allocation will be released each year, is hand bottled at 92 proof and prices around $400 per 750 ml bottle. You’ll find some limited official tasting notes below for your consideration.
