General description

I must be spoiled by 20+ year old Scotches, but Whistlepig comes across as overly oaky and coarse. Unmistakably rye but too pricy for what is delivered. Would rather drink Rittenhouse rye at 1/3 the price

Bold and Spicy Rye

Nose

Intensity on the nose is moderate and not over powering. Medium smoke. Scents of cinnamon, coffee, caramel, maple, and butter scotch.

High proof taste with a full body. Sharp texture with a long finish.

General description

VERY spicy, whistlepig has a distinct rye spice that is all it’s own. Once you push past the initial rye hit, you’ll find a lot of ripe green pears and sweet fruitiness, Followed by caramel apples. The finish is long and warming. It’s intense, but super enjoyable.

General description

nose is rye without the usual heavy dill aroma. taste is EARTHY, like the smell of a humid, mossy forest after a thunderstorm on a hot day. Very interesting whiskey, but wouldn't recommend for first time trying rye. overpriced

Very earthy taste (dirt, mushrooms, green wood, etc...). Not at all like the distiller's tasting notes. Did I get a bad nip?
