Whistle Pig 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey

Pairs with: Aged Gouda

Good for: Enjoying a bit of spice with your spirits on a winter evening

I am from: Shoreham, Vermont

The Story:  Once the leading American spirit, Rye had faded from popularity after prohibition ...until a dedicated crew of Rye enthusiasts settled in an unlikely place, turning a historic dairy barn into a world class whiskey distillery in remote Shoreham, Vermont, where Rye has become the focus of Whistle Pig's output. 

Why You'll Love Me: Allspice, orange peel, and charred oak on the nose gives way to a slightly sweet palate with caramel and vanilla. The finish is long, smooth, and slightly spicy, with notes of treacle, butterscotch and cinnamon.
