Whistle Pig Straight Rye Whiskey (750mL)

WhistlePig Whiskey is located on one of the oldest farms in Vermont. Cultivation began here in the early 19th century in what was then known as the hamlet Shaksboro. Steam engines replaced the lifeblood of the town – a grist and lumber mill powered by the Lemon Fair River - which still meanders through farm - and the town slowly dissipated until vanishing entirely in the 1930’s. The farm remained in operation until 2006 when it was purchased and renamed by WhistlePig’s founder Raj Peter Bhakta.

WhistlePig Farm is being loving restored, a slow and painstaking process, to undertake the noble task of producing the finest whiskies in the world. WhistlePig’s Master Distiller, Dave Pickerell, a luminary in the world of whiskey, is one of the nation’s preeminent master distillers. Before joining WhistlePig, Dave spent 14 years in crafting Maker's Mark in Loretto, Kentucky. Mr. Pickerell’s is creating his magnum opus, the WhistlePig distillery. To this end, we are proud to report that our first whiskey, a 10 year old 100 percent rye whiskey, was awarded by Wine Enthusiast its“highest ever” rating for rye whiskey.

WhistlePig “100/100” is a 100 proof, 100 percent rye whiskey, aged for at least ten years in new American oak barrels. It was released in the summer of 2010 to great critical acclaim is has received numerous distinctions such as the “highest ever” designation from Wine Enthusiast and “highest recomendation” from the Spirits Journal. These extraordinary honors “humble and set a high bar” for Master Distiller Dave Pickerell who spent over a year on an exhaustive search of North America for the best rye whiskey in the world. Dave feels that “100/100” embodies the perfect combination of proof, purity, and age -- hitting what he calls "the sweet spot" in all three categories. WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey is hand bottled at the WhistlePig Farm Distillery in Shoreham, Vermont and is available in a limited quantity.
