WhistlePig CampStock Solo Stove Limited Edition Wheat Whiskey 750ml

WhistlePig CampStock is a one of a kind limited edition collaboration between WhistlePig Whiskey of Shoreham, Vermont, and Solo Stove, the innovative smokeless fire pit brand, released in May 2024. The expression marks WhistlePig's first ever wheat whiskey release and brings together two cult American craft brands around a shared summer campfire theme. The mash bill is an unusual 85% wheat whiskey blended with 15% WhistlePig grain to glass rye, then finished in proprietary toasted oak barrels charred using Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 smokeless fire pit technology (the same patented dual wall combustion design that defines the Solo Stove product line). The toasting process introduces gentle smokeless toasted character into the oak without imparting heavy campfire smoke into the whiskey, delivering vanilla, caramelized sugar, honey graham, and toasted marshmallow notes that nod to s'mores around the fire without sacrificing the whiskey's approachable wheat forward smoothness. To complete the stave to stove concept, WhistlePig broke down used barrel staves into Solo Stove branded whiskey barrel firewood available as part of the collaboration kits, available alongside Solo Stove fire pits, custom etched glasses, and Solo Stove logo silicone ice molds. The whiskey itself is bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) in 750ml format with a vibrant illustrated campfire scene label featuring the WhistlePig logo, "Campfire Club" neck badge, and the official tagline "Summer is short. Light a smokeless fire, and pour yourself s'more!" Founded in 2007 by Raj Bhakta on the historic 500 acre Shoreham, Vermont dairy farm, WhistlePig is widely considered the most celebrated independent craft rye whiskey producer in the United States, and CampStock represents a notable departure from the brand's signature rye focus into wheat whiskey territory. As a strictly limited edition release, CampStock is increasingly difficult to source at retail and bundles featuring the whiskey paired with Solo Stove fire pits have largely sold through.

FAQ

What is the Solo Stove barrel toasting process? Solo Stove is the cult American outdoor brand best known for its patented dual wall smokeless fire pit design (the Bonfire 2.0 model is the company's flagship product, used as the toasting tool for this whiskey release). For CampStock, WhistlePig developed a proprietary collaboration where the inside of the finishing barrels are toasted using Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 smokeless fire pit technology rather than traditional cooperage charring. The Solo Stove dual wall combustion delivers a hotter and more controlled toasting effect that introduces gentle toasted character into the oak fiber without imparting the heavy campfire smoke that traditional charring would. To complete the stave to stove concept, used barrels from the CampStock program were broken down into Solo Stove branded whiskey barrel firewood, available as part of the collaboration kits.

What is wheat whiskey? American wheat whiskey is a legally defined category that requires the mash bill to contain at least 51% wheat (compared to bourbon, which requires at least 51% corn, and rye whiskey, which requires at least 51% rye). Wheat whiskey is significantly softer, smoother, and sweeter than rye or bourbon, with the wheat grain contributing creamy honeyed sweetness, light bread crust, and a more delicate texture than spicier rye or corn heavy bourbons. The category is relatively rare in American whiskey production, with Bernheim Original being the most widely available example. WhistlePig CampStock at 85% wheat is well above the legal minimum and one of the few craft wheat whiskey releases from a major rye focused distillery.

How does this fit into WhistlePig's broader portfolio? WhistlePig Whiskey is the leading independent craft rye whiskey producer in the United States, founded in 2007 by Raj Bhakta on a historic 500 acre Vermont dairy farm in the village of Shoreham. The core WhistlePig portfolio centers around rye whiskey, including the celebrated WhistlePig Rye 10 Year, PiggyBack 6 Year, 12 Year Old World Cask Finish, 15 Year Estate Oak, 18 Year Double Malt, and ultra premium 21 and 25 Year expressions. CampStock represents a notable departure from the rye focus into wheat whiskey territory and is part of an emerging WhistlePig limited edition series that has also included the GraveStock Wheat Whiskey x Liquid Death collaboration and other experimental releases.

How rare is this release? Strictly limited edition collaboration released May 2024 with US distribution through select retailers and Solo Stove bundle kits. The original release was a finite production run rather than a permanent core range expression. Bundle kits featuring CampStock paired with Solo Stove fire pits, etched glasses, and accessories have largely sold through at retail, with standalone 750ml bottles now seeing increasingly limited availability at major online retailers. As one of WhistlePig's first ever wheat whiskey releases and a unique stave to stove collaboration, CampStock holds particular collector interest for both WhistlePig enthusiasts and Solo Stove fans.
