WhistlePig 15 is a creamy, super-flavorful example of Rye American Rye know-how.
WhistlePig began in 2017 when a band of dedicated Rye enthusiasts transforms an old dairy farm in Vermont in to a Whiskey-making paradise. They teamed up with master distiller Dave Pickerell — formerly of Maker’s Mark — to bring genuine Rye Whiskey back to the forefront of American Whiskies. It took a lot of time, patience, experimentation, and reinvestment, but they have grown to produce five award-winning core products and have experimented with a variety of finished wood special edition Whiskeys too.
WhistlePig 15YO is the oldest spirit made by Whistle Pig so far. In a word, it’s delightful. Seriously … even the reviewers at Forbes said exactly that. If you need more convincing, Wine Enthusiast gave it 97 points — and when wine drinkers give you a score like that it’s saying something. And this exceptional Rye Whiskey celebrates its quinceañera (fifteenth year) in native, estate-grown Vermont Oak and is bottled at a spot-on perfect 46% ABV.
Smartass corner:
Why do they use Vermont Oak? Well, not only is it a local wood growing natively on the Whistle Pig Estate, but it has tighter, slower-growing rings that they believe imparts more flavor per barrel.

Ratings & Reviews
Ryan,
I liked this, but at the price point not something I would reach for. Certainly a lot of spice and an oakiness befitting it’s age. Lingering pleasant warmth. Happy to have tried it, but will try something else next time.
Nicole,
OMG this is so good! Smooth and delicious.
Jaime,
Complex. Rich caramel.
Aaron,
I love what whistle pig does. Have had many different bottlings and have loved the uniqueness to each one. If you like rye, must stop here and give it a try
Brandon,
