WhistlePig Double Malt 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey 5th Edition

WhistlePig Double Double Rye is patiently mellowed for 18 years. Before industrial distillation, Americas original farmers would malt a small portion of their grain to start fermentation, the essential step that turns water and rye into glorious whiskey. As a nod to the farmers, Double Malt Rye is crafted from a mash bill of Rye and Malted Barley. History aside, these grains unite in a show-stopping Rye Whiskey that stretches far and wide across the flavor spectrum. Its base of 91% Rye delivers bold, peppery spice, while 9% Malted Barley adds soft, floral and earthy character.

To take the expansive palate of WhistlePig Double Double Rye even further, this year’s edition undergoes a unique double barrel aging process in American Oak and Pedro Ximenez (PX) Sherry Casks, adding new layers of complexity with each barrel. The result is a masterstrokea prize pig of a whiskey with warm, sweet notes and a never-ending finish.

Each annual edition of our 18 Year is crowned with a bespoke glass topper, handmade in Vermont.
