We’ve teamed up with WhistlePig and four award-winning chefs for an exclusive, flavorful, and fragrant Rye Whiskey.
In 2007, WhistlePig team bought the farm — actually a plot of land in Vermont lovingly named WhistlePig Farm. They teamed up with the late-great 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.
OK… here at Flaviar we are pretty excited about this. We’ve partnered with the good folks at WhistlePig to create this special edition Rye Whiskey. We brought four world-class, James Beard Nominated chefs to the WhistlePig farm and turned them loose among the casks to help us blend something new — Chefs Michael Gulotta from New Orleans; Jamie Malone from Minneapolis; David Posey from Chicago; and Justin Woodward from Portland. What they came up with is a rich blend of twelve year-old WhistlePig high Rye (95% Rye/5% malted barley) finished in a variety of Wine casks, including 40% Madeira, 30% Sherry, 20% Port, and 10% Sauternes.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that classically-trained chefs selected casks of Spirit finished in famous Wines from classic food pairings. And you will not be surprised just how great the flavor profile is. And this special release of WhistlePig X Flaviar Chef’s Blend 2019 is limited to 1000 bottles.

Smartass corner:
What the heck is a “whistle pig” anyway? Even though all WhistlePig Whiskey labels are adorned with the sketch of a tuxedo-clad hog, the words whistlepig, groundhog, and woodchuck all refer to the same animal.

Ratings & Reviews
Rob,
One of my favorite ryes. Puts me in my happy place. Super smooth.
Jack,
An immediate favorite.
Todd,
Smooth from start to finish.
Stan,
Good but not great. If you've had the original, it's that smooth, buttery goodness that wins you over. This one is far more complex and in my opinion loses the greatness of the regular 12 yr.
Todd,
I agree Stan!
Steve,
The rye is a great drinking rye. While there are better ryes MUCH cheaper (IMHO), this makes a nice change and actually has a bit of a sweet bouron-y taste. Not sure I would buy again at the price, but it's pretty good.
