Whistlepig 15 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey 75cl

Released in 2016, this is the 15 year old straight rye whiskey from WhistlePig in Vermont – their oldest release so far! Interestingly, their 15 year old expression has enjoyed 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 – there’s some tree terroir afoot here!
