FAQ

What is in the WhistlePig 4 bottle bundle? Four 750ml bottles covering the WhistlePig core lineup: PiggyBack 6 Year, Small Batch 10 Year, Old World 12 Year, and 15 Year Estate Oak. Together they provide a complete vertical of the brand's house style across age, proof, and finishing approach.

Why is PiggyBack 96.56 proof? Master Distiller Dave Pickerell deliberately chose 96.56 proof as the optimal point in what he called the strength to sweet to bitter cocktail triangle. PiggyBack was his final creation before his passing in 2018 and is purpose built for bartenders and home cocktails.

What makes the Old World 12 Year unique? It is the first rye whiskey to be triple finished in wine casks. After 12 years in new American oak, the rye is split into three separate finishes — Madeira (63%), Sauternes (30%), and Port (7%) — then blended back together for a rye unlike any other in the category.

What is Vermont Estate Oak? Custom barrels coopered from White Oak trees sustainably harvested from WhistlePig's own 500 acre farm in Shoreham, Vermont. The wood has more growth rings than standard American oak, imparting deeper flavor during finishing. The 15 Year Estate Oak uses these custom casks for its final maturation step.
