Whistle Pig 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey 50% 700ml
WhistlePig 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey 700ml
Straight Rye Whiskey - 100 Proof (50% ABV) - 10 Years Old | Shoreham, Vermont
A Decade of Daring and Distinction
In just over fifteen years since its founding in 2007, WhistlePig has emerged as a defining name in American rye whiskey. Although grain for this bottling is distilled in Canada, everything else - from aging to blending and bottling - happens on the Vermont farm. The 10 Year Old Straight Rye was the brand’s first major statement, released in the mid-2010s as one of the first 100-proof, decade-aged ryes - showing both ambition and confidence.
A full ten-year rest in new American oak gives this whiskey serious structure without softening rye’s signature fire. The nose leads with fragrant cinnamon sticks, candied orange peel, fresh dill, and toasted rye bread, softened by caramel and a note of mint. It's assertive yet nuanced.
On the palate, bold spice - clove, nutmeg, black pepper - takes centre stage before richness appears: creamy vanilla fudge, dark fruit, and charred oak. The mouthfeel is generous but well-balanced by dry, rye-driven elements.
The finish lingers with warm baking spice, toffee, and gently drying oak - leaving a compelling mix of power and polish.
A Defining Rye
When WhistlePig 10 debuted, decade-aged rye at 100 proof was virtually unheard of. It became an exemplar - ushering in a new standard for aged rye and inspiring countless peers. While newer WhistlePig expressions now feature estate-grown distillation, the 10 Year Old remains an authentic, masterfully curated classic that still thrills enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Final Thought
This is not a gateway whiskey - it’s a statement. WhistlePig 10 Year Old Straight Rye is bold, intricate, and refined - a modern rye that set the bar and still stands among the best.
