- Description
- WhistlePig's 18 Year Old Double Malt represents an experimental grain bill of 79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley, aged 18 years before bottling. The inclusion of malted rye adds textural complexity and subtle sweetness to the spicy rye backbone, while oak integration from two decades of maturation rounds the spirit with vanilla, baking spice, and caramel. Full-bodied with a warm, lingering finish, this showcases rye's potential beyond traditional recipes. A sophisticated pour for rye enthusiasts seeking depth beyond standard expressions.
