WhistlePig Piggyback Rye Holiday Gift Pack

Crafted at WhistlePig Distillery in Shoreham, Vermont, this holiday value-added gift pack features the distillery's signature PiggyBack Small Batch Straight Rye aged for six years, accompanied by a limited-edition branded pouring snout. Developed in partnership with late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, this expression features a straight rye profile designed to hold up in premium cocktails, offering a spice-forward, robust character with warm baking spices, bold oak, and bright citrus zest.

Food Pairing: Charcuterie boards, smoked meats, aged cheddar, grilled pork chops, dark chocolate desserts, or warm apple pie.

Tasting Notes : Warm golden amber with medium viscosity and fine clarity in the glass.

Nose: Freshly cracked black pepper, cinnamon stick, orange peel, and toasted oak with subtle underlying cocoa and cedar wood.

Palate: Powerful rye spice upfront, developing into caramel, baking spices, crisp green apple, and dark citrus notes mid-palate.

Finish: Medium-to-long and spice-forward with lingering vanilla, leather, oak, and warming cinnamon.

Serve: Enjoy neat, over ice, or as an elevated base in classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Whiskey Sour.
