WhistlePig 10 Year Old is the expression that established the Vermont distillery as one of America's most important rye producers. The 100% rye mash bill, ten years of age and 100-proof bottling create a rye of genuine depth and complexity. Originally sourced from Alberta Distillers in Canada, the blend now includes increasing proportions of WhistlePig's own estate rye.
The 100% rye character at ten years is the appeal. The grain's natural peppery, bread-like intensity has had a decade to develop genuine complexity — dark fruit, chocolate, dried herbs — while retaining the assertive grain character that rye enthusiasts seek.
WhistlePig 10 is one of the defining American ryes. The quality, the age, and the 100-proof presentation produce a rye that commands attention and rewards it generously. At its premium price, it competes with the finest ryes available. The expression that proved premium American rye could be a thing.
