- Description
- WhistlePig's 12-year-old rye finished in Oloroso sherry casks delivers a marriage of American rye spice and Spanish sweet wine influences. The palate balances the whiskey's inherent peppery, grain-forward character with rich dried fruit, honeyed sweetness, and warming wood spice from the sherry finish. At 43% ABV, this is a Master of Malt exclusive that bridges Old World and New World traditions. Ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking complexity beyond standard bourbon cask aging.
