WhistlePig was established in 2007 when the owners purchased a farm in Shoreham, Vermont. With help from their Master Distiller Dave Pickerell they purchase stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being misused. With this whisky they started to unlock the potential of the local lands and years of knowledge.
WhistlePig today produces Rye whiskey of the highest standard and continues to grow its reputation as one of the most sought after Rye whiskey brands in the world.
This 15 Year Old is the Farms oldest release so far! Enjoying a finishing period in Vermont oak barrels which have been given a long toast and heavy char. Due to shorter growing seasons and harsh winters, Vermont oak has a tight grain pattern, which can affect the flavour profile of the whiskey. Bruichladdich like terror of the land WhistlePig like terroir of the tree!
