WhistlePig Double Malt 18 Year Old 4th Edition Straight Rye Whiskey
Founded in 2008 at an old farm in Shoreham, Vermont, WhistlePig quickly rose to fame as the world's most-awarded rye whiskey maker. Until his passing in 2018, the WhistlePig farm had been home to the founding father of craft whiskey, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell. Today, they are all about protecting what makes rye whiskey great, and at the same time innovating to make it better. Their Double Malt expression features their oldest rye whiskey that was mellowed for 18 years. After years of devotion to patient aging and innovative blending, WhistlePig has turned its attention to experimenting with grain, namely the practice of malting rye, reflected in the 4th Edition of the Double Malt. Distilled from a mash bill of 79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley, it's a truly flavorful whiskey where the boldness and peppery spice of the rye combine perfectly with the softer earthy and floral notes of the malted rye, while the malted barley provides richness and sweetness.

Tasting Notes
The nose is sweet with caramel, nutty aromas, and a touch of smoked maple. There's a pleasant honey sweetness on the palate with plenty of rye spice and additional grassy undertones. The rye whisky finishes with characteristic dried fruit notes.
