WhistlePig Farmstock Batch 001 Rye Whiskey 70 cl 43%

Farm-to-bottle rye whiskey from Vermont, blended from several ageing vintages in one batch.

Expert description

WhistlePig Farmstock Batch 001 Rye Whiskey is a blend of rye whiskey from different ageing periods, bottled at 43%. WhistlePig was founded by Dave Pickerell, former master distiller at Maker's Mark and often called the 'godfather of craft distilling', who bought an old dairy farm in Shoreham, Vermont, in 2007. Pickerell took a bold gamble by investing in 10-year-old rye whiskey from an undisclosed Canadian distillery, made from 100% rye, at a time when rye whiskey had not yet been rediscovered by the American market. The distillery officially opened in 2015 in a renovated 150-year-old barn and is today the world's most awarded producer of rye whiskey.
