- Description
- WhistlePig's 2017 Boss Hog sources a 14-year-old Indiana rye finished in Armagnac casks—a first for the distillery—resulting in a rich, complex expression that balances the spice of rye with the dried fruit and oak notes of Armagnac. Named Best in Show Whiskey at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this fourth edition showcases why WhistlePig's annual release is highly anticipated.
