The World's Most Awarded Rye Whiskey.

WhistlePig is the world’s most awarded Rye Whiskey and for good reason.  We took an unloved grain, falling out of favor post-Prohibition, and added a dedicated band of Rye enthusiasts to bring it back to life.  With a clear vision to reinvent Rye Whiskey, we went off the grid, to build whiskey our own way in Shoreham, Vermont, USA.

This is whiskey for a new age.  Legendary distiller Dave Pickerell created his dream playground for experimental whiskey, then left it to the youngest, most restless and rebellious team in the industry. We’ll never stop fighting the good fight for Rye, breaking down boundaries in American whiskey, and drinking our mistakes along the way.

We’re here to create amazing whiskey and if we win a few awards along the way, we’ll gladly accept.

WhistlePig PiggyBack Rye Whiskey is a Rye aged no less than six years, carrying a strength of precisely 96.56 proof. A sturdy thread of cinnamon and citrus binds it all together.

Our Small Batch Rye Aged 10 Years embodies the spirit of revolution.  Ingenuity, innovation and a fearless pursuit of flavor led us to the discovery of an aged Rye Whiskey stock in the Great White North. We rescued it from a hapless fate, aging it anew in virgin American Oak, before hand-bottling it on its own, in all its glory.  This is the one that started it all and remains one of the highest rated Rye Whiskeys of all time.

WhistlePig’s Old World Rye Aged 12 Years is an 86-proof 12-year-old Rye Whiskey that is the greater sum of three finishes, each with their own distinctive flavor profiles.  An orchestra of flavor to dazzle the senses.

The Estate Oak Rye Aged 15 Years is one of our oldest whiskeys ever bottled is also the first WhistlePig product finished in Vermont Estate Oak.   Harvested right off our farm the wood has more rings than the standard American oak used in whiskey barrels. That gives it more opportunity to impart deeper flavors during maturation.  We’re clearly not the only ones enamored by this pure expression of Green Mountain goodness.
