The Story

About WhistlePig Double Malt 18 Year Old 3rd Edition Straight Rye Whiskey

The WhistlePig Double Malt releases are their oldest rye whiskeys, clocking in at 18 years. Crafted with a mash bill of 79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley, the 3rd edition is bottled at 92 proof. Malting the grain opens it up, making the sugar within easily fermentable. This results in a floral and earthy spirit with an evolving palate that goes from soft to rich. The elegant bespoke glass topper adds to the elegance of this magnificent expression.

About WhistlePig

Founded in 2008, WhistlePig is now the most awarded rye whiskey maker in the world. Their remote 500-acre hard-working farm in bucolic Shoreham, Vermont, is the perfect place to perfect their experiments with blending and finishing, ultimately leading to a portfolio of deeply complex rye whiskeys. In 2017 WhistlePig was awarded the coveted "Best In Show Whiskey" title from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Until his passing in 2018 the WhistlePig farm had been home to the founding father of craft whiskey, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell.
Their vision is to respect tradition and embrace progress, protecting what makes rye whiskey great, and at the same time innovating to make it better. After years of devotion to patient aging and innovative blending, WhistlePig has turned their attention to experimenting with grain, namely the practice of malting rye. Before industrial catalysts were introduced to increase efficiency, farmer distillers would malt a small portion of their rye harvest in order to access the grain's starch content and set off the fermentation process.

About Rye

As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.

By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

You'll find a balance of sweetness, oak, berries, and spice on the nose. The palate is spicy, fruity, and floral with oak and vanilla. The finish is satisfyingly long with the spice notes lingering pleasantly.
