WhistlePig PiggyBank 10 Year Rye Review

WhistlePig is known for their incredible whiskey and often unique marketing. Take inspiration from their naming conventions or recent collaboration with Liquid Death. WP is really on the cutting edge of bottling. I would wager none or quite as interesting to the average consumer as the PiggyBank 10 year rye. A golden decanter bottle where you pour from the unconventional end of a pig. It’s loud, it’s glamorous and it’s not just me saying it’s a tad ostentatious. WhistlePig themselves describes this bottling thusly:

“The WhistlePig 10 PiggyBank Rye is a limited edition dazzler to celebrate with the world’s most awarded Rye. This isn’t your average holiday spirit; it’s an opulent, overproof Straight Rye Whiskey that’s spent a decade growing older, bolder, and better with each passing year… And it’s here to flaunt it – by proudly pouring from the rear.

Imagine this: a golden pig, proudly perched on your home bar, dripping with charm, complexity, and a bit of swine swagger. It’s the kind of bottle that stops conversations and starts new ones, the centerpiece of any gathering that appreciates something rare and a little ridiculous.”

Is the juice worth the squeeze, or pig worth the oink? We are going to open this up and take a closer examination into the hype and hysteria following the fourth release of the PiggyBank 10 Year Rye from WhistlePig.
