WhistlePig 10 Year Old is among the rare 100% rye whiskies on the market. While its origins trace back to Alberta, Canada, its renowned status arises from a unique aging process. It undergoes reaging in new, charred American oak casks, followed by a finishing period in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. This distinctive maturation method contributes to its exceptional flavor profile and reputation.

Nose: Fragrant allspice, orange peel, anise, oak, char and caramel.
