What a big, hefty rye. At 120 proof it packs a punch, but the texture is smooth for something that hot. Vanilla, butterscotch, and cigar are all folded together on the palate with a classic rye nutty-grain finish. Beautiful--and I'm not usually a fan of straight ryes! — 11 years ago

Whistlepig Boss Hog. Nose is mostly booze and baking spices. Honestly can't differentiate from the 10 year based solely on nose. Taste is incredibly complex. Heavy spice up front with some sticky plastic. Incredibly layered the rest of the way. Corn biscuit then citrus, honeydew, cantaloupe. Grass, very fresh grass. Numbness in my mouth. Much like when I taste the olde chap. Finally, honey and berry. Best rye I've ever tasted. — 11 years ago
