WhistlePig Boss Hog Vth Edition: The Spirit of Mauve

A truly special and limited Rye dram with a wonderful apple influence.

In 2007, aspiring Whiskey-maker Raj Bhakta bought the farm he actually purchased a plot of land in Vermont lovingly named Whistle Pig Farm. He teamed up with master distiller Dave Pickerell formerly of Makers Mark to bring genuine Rye Whiskey back to the forefront of American Whiskeys. It took a lot of time, patience, experimentation, and reinvestment, but they have grown to produce five award-winning core products and have experimented with a variety of finished wood special edition Whiskeys too.

The Whistle Pig Distillery actually has ahem, “celebrity” pet pig named Mauve. Calvados is an aged Brandy made from Apple Eau de Vie. WhistlePig The Boss Hog V is the fifth edition of the a special Rye Whiskey this time a thirteen year-old finished in Calvados casks. And the result is truly exceptional in a spicy American Whiskey with a decidedly apple influence bottled at cask strength of 58.4% ABV. Even the flask-shaped bottle is special with pewter stopper.

We love the humorous bent, but this is a darn good dram. This ones special folks.

Smartass corner:
What the heck is a “whistle pig” anyway? Even though all Whistle Pig Whiskey labels are adorned with the sketch of a tuxedo-clad hog, a “whistle-pig,” groundhog, and woodchuck all refer to the same animal.
