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 Whiskeys. 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
Kent,
Just a great Rye. (can't beat WhistlePig). Made the perfect Old Fashioned!
Ted,
It was less smooth than the other Whistle Pig Rye i purchased.
Did not detect any hibt of Lamb Spleen Escabeche but there was an earthiness that i wasn't prepared for.
Not certain I would spend for this one again.
Lisa,
Great bottle. Very smooth and no heat. I can definitely get lost in the sherry flavored finish. I would love another bottle.
William,
It is alright, nothing to really write home about. A little hot on the palate like most whistlepig. If you are a serious Rye drinker you will probably like it, but if you are just exploring rye you may want to start someplace else.
Alex,
A serious blend for serious pretentious drinkers. And I love it.
