Distillery Spotlight: WhistlePig – Pioneers of Premium Rye and Bourbon

Nestled in the rolling hills of Shoreham, Vermont, WhistlePig Distillery has redefined American whiskey with a commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and quality. While WhistlePig is best known for its award-winning rye whiskey, the brand has also made waves with its unique approach to bourbon, blending traditional methods with bold experimentation.

WhistlePig’s journey began in 2007 when the brand set out to revive and elevate American rye whiskey. Unlike many distilleries that source their grains externally, WhistlePig embraces a farm-to-bottle philosophy. The brand grows its own grain, distills on-site, and even ages whiskey in Vermont oak barrels—bringing a unique terroir to every bottle.

The brand’s signature ryes, including the iconic WhistlePig 10-Year Straight Rye and WhistlePig 12-Year Old World Rye, have garnered international acclaim. However, WhistlePig continues to push boundaries with bold releases like its Snout-to-Tail Bourbon Aged 10 Years, proving that their expertise extends far beyond rye whiskey.

While rye whiskey is the foundation of WhistlePig’s legacy, its foray into bourbon has been just as exciting. The Snout-to-Tail Bourbon 10-Year is a perfect example of the brand’s innovative spirit. Aged in two types of toasted barrels, this bourbon develops deep caramel, toasted oak, and spice notes, setting it apart from traditional Kentucky-style bourbons.

This limited-release bourbon showcases WhistlePig’s signature approach: taking a classic whiskey style and refining it with meticulous aging, unique cask finishes, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.

WhistlePig isn’t just another distillery—it’s a brand dedicated to pushing American whiskey forward. From its Vermont-grown grain to its custom barrel aging process, everything is designed to enhance flavor and complexity. The distillery’s innovation in blending, finishing, and barrel aging has led to some of the most sought-after whiskeys on the market.

Beyond its exceptional spirits, WhistlePig also stands out for its fun, rebellious attitude in the whiskey world. Whether through unique barrel-aged experiments or playful branding, the distillery brings excitement and originality to every bottle.

For those looking to experience premium, full-bodied whiskey, WhistlePig offers a range of options, from high-rye spice bombs to rich, aged bourbons. Whether you’re a longtime whiskey lover or new to the world of craft spirits, a bottle of WhistlePig is always a good choice.
