Overview

More Info

WhistlePig’s vanguard of finishing lies within our Old World Rye, Aged 12 Years. A Rye styled by Old World sensibilities at 86-proof. This whiskey is the marriage of three finishes, each with their own distinctive flavor profiles. After maturing for 12 years in New American Oak, the spirit is divvied into one of three barrels –Madeira (63%), Sauternes (30%) and Port (7%). Finished to perfection and blended into a symphony of flavor. It started as a grand experiment and ended as the first Rye whiskey of its kind, giving you Rye in all its glory.. and then some. Just like a fine wine, our Old World Rye’s rich fruit and spice notes are great with an epic meal.

Reviews

Whistlepig has always been the greatest.

"This merchandise is worth the cost. Though I typically drink scotch, I usually keep a bottle of WhistlePig on hand, and this is the third and best one I've ever drank. The typical 10 year is excellent, but this is a step up. Smooth and comparable to the standard 10, but more intricate. The WhistlePig, which I just drank after some Glenfarclas 17, is superior, in my opinion. The price tag on this whiskey is reasonable."

Hashnia D. (4/5)

TERRIFIC! You'll want to buy this repeatedly!

"Absolutely adored it; excellent whisky. Main flavors and smells include acidic red fruit neat that becomes more intense with a splash of water, honey, and vanilla on the nose. The presence of spice is warming all the way down. Pleasant and oily in the glass. Amazing product."

Aysel S. (5/5)

Why 4 Stars Rather Than 5

"My kid got a special release Whistle Pig 12 year Rye, which is slightly different from the one I was replacing for her birthday. Although not as good as the five stars, the one I purchased is still great."

Kalejaiye (4/5)

The ideal present you could give

Josh Y. (5/5)

Amazing degree of intricacy.

"The best rye currently available, I adore its complicity. Effin' smooth ."

Glycer N. (5/5)

Exceptionally Smooth

"Although I don't typically drink whiskey, the smoothness and vanilla undertones in this bottle made it rather pleasant."

Emode S. (5/5)

Runs out quickly

"My all-time favorite Rye Whiskey is WhistlePig 12 year. Amazing in a word. There is never enough in my bar."

Elie F. (5/5)

incredible warm finish

"Excellent tangerine flavor and a warm, silky aftertaste"

Kispert R. (5/5)

Reviewers love WhistlePig 12 Old World Cask Rye: The Whiskey Wash rates it 93, Total Wine shoppers give it 4.7/5, and it took Double Gold at the 2015 SF World Spirits Comp for best rye. Some reviewers wish the proof were higher and balk at price. Aggregated sentiment: acclaimed with value caveats.
