Old World 12 Year Rye

WhistlePig 12 Year Old World Rye is a premium rye whiskey that marries the boldness of American/Canadian rye with European wine cask finishing.

Aged for 12 years in New American Oak, the whiskey is then split and finished in three distinct wine barrels: Madeira (63%), French Sauternes (30%), and Port (7%). It is typically bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).

• • Nose: Aromas of caramel, vanilla, winter fruit, and toasted oak.
• • Palate: Rye spice notes mingle with sweet, rich flavors of apricot, plum, honey, and dark chocolate. The wine casks lend a smooth, dessert-like sweetness.
• • Finish: Long and complex, rounding out with dark chocolate, caramel, and lingering warm winter fruit.
