WhistlePig Estate Oak Rye 15 Year is a bold rye whiskey aged 15 years and finished in custom Vermont white oak barrels. Bottled at 92 proof it delivers a rich balanced profile of vanilla oak spice and subtle smoke with a long complex finishperfect for sipping neat. The harsh winters and short growing seasons in Vermont bestow a tight grain pattern upon our trees. Kentucky oak trees are fat. Vermont ones are tight. Tight wood delivers more flavor and depth. The new Vermont Oak barrels receive a long toast and heavy char designed to draw out a rich sweetness to complement the natural spice of aged rye. The final product mixes rye spice with wood sugar earthy oakiness and lush citrus notes all wrapped in a velvety smoothness unique to the finest aged spirits. This Rye has been waiting for 15 years to reach your lips and time is something that no amount of money can buy. Just remember - tight is better than fat. And old is better than young. In whiskey at least.
