FAQs

What awards has it won?
"Highest ever" designation from Wine Enthusiast Magazine and "highest recommendation" from the Spirits Journal — two of the most respected voices in spirits criticism.

Why 100% rye?
A 100% rye mash bill delivers the boldest, most uncompromising rye spice and grain character possible — the foundation of WhistlePig's identity and what sets it apart from standard rye whiskies.

How does it compare to WhistlePig 12 and 15 Year?
The 10 Year is the bold, classic entry point — the 12 Year adds Old World wine cask finishing, and the 15 Year adds Vermont estate oak and greater aged complexity. All three are exceptional in their own right.
