Whistlepig Farm : Straight Rye 10 Year

A Seductive American Rye Whiskey of Complexity and Balance

WhistlePig: A Beacon in the World of American Whiskey

Nestled among the rolling hills of Vermont, the WhistlePig distillery is the stage for an authentic whiskey revolution. Since 2008, this bold house has been passionately dedicated to reviving rye whiskey, a quintessential pre-Prohibition American spirit that had fallen into obscurity. Its founder, Raj Bhakta, a visionary entrepreneur, transformed a 500-acre farm into a true epicenter of this revival, embodying the "seed to glass" philosophy.

Every drop of WhistlePig whiskey carries the story of the brand, its perseverance in growing premium rye on-site, and its dedication to producing whiskey using traditional artisanal methods.

A Spotlight on Craftsmanship

Every bottle of this Rye Whiskey is the result of a long and meticulous production process. The whiskey is distilled from premium rye grown on-site, then aged for a decade. This extended maturation allows it to develop a bold, complex flavor profile characteristic of top-quality whiskeys.

Hand-bottled at the farm, WhistlePig 10 Year Old reflects the traditional craftsmanship that defines the distillery. Every bottle embodies WhistlePig's commitment to creating authentic, high-quality whiskeys.
