Sliding into the new year, WhistlePig Whiskey is getting into the spirit of Dry January with a newly launched, limited-edition non-alcoholic whiskey.
And in that spirit, WhistlePig will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of this new, non-alcoholic whiskey to bartenders nationwide to help “offset their lost earnings during the January drought,” according to a statement from the whiskey maker.
Notoriously, drinking establishments lose a ton of service during the slow season to start off their year.
The new whiskey is called WhistlePig PiggyBack Devil’s Slide, and it’s aged and “undistilled” at the WhistlePig Farm & Distillery in New England. And it’s available now online for $49.99 per 750ml bottle.
The distiller’s notes show that one of the world’s first aged non-whiskeys has the nose, palate and finish of a WhistlePig favorite, minus any hangovers.
And to complete the roll out of the new, non-alcoholic elixir, WhistlePig makers shared their favorite recipes for Dry January mocktails.
The Best Part of Wakin’ Up:
- 2 oz. PiggyBack Devil’s Slide Non-Whiskey
- 1/2 oz. WhistlePig Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup (or any organic maple syrup)
- 5 oz. freshly brewed coffee
- Whipped cream and/or a donut on the side
Add all ingredients to a coffee mug, top with whipped cream, stir, sip and get cozy.
On the Wagon Fashioned:
- 2 oz. PiggyBack Devil’s Slide Non-Whiskey
- 1/4 oz. WhistlePig Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup (or any organic maple syrup)
- 4 dashes of non-alcoholic bitters such as Dram Apothecary (with an extra dash for making it to the bitter end of Dry January)
- Candied ginger garnish
Add all ingredients to an Old Fashioned glass. Add ice. Stir until maple syrup is properly diluted. Garnish, toast and enjoy.
