Unprecedented Whiskey forged in unprecedented times.

The quirky New Englander and the only distiller with celebrity pigs releases a one-of-a-kind expression each Spring. Spring 2020, however, saw everyone being forced to stay home and responsibly un-socialize. So, it was expected that the new WhistlePig offering would be something unprecedented, like the situation itself. Flaviar Members were given the opportunity to become Master Blenders-at-Home and use the lockdown to create an exceptional Whiskey. The quickest ones got a beautiful blending kit, experimented, submitted their recipes, and picked the winner among three finalists during a live online blending event. Now, meet the winner.

WhistlePig Homestock offers a unique blend of rye, wheat, and barley Whiskeys, delivering a light and gentle sweetness as a balance to the signature rye boldness. The gorgeous nose with notes of vanilla, orange zest, and pipe tobacco introduces the spicy and mouthwatering palate with hints of nutmeg, roasted nuts, and ripe berries. This is a Whiskey the Flaviar Family should be proud of. What did you learn during the quarantine? How to blend Whiskey!

Rye Whiskey is made from mash that is at least 51 percent rye. The grain gives Rye Whiskey its spicy, sometimes peppery, and bitter flavor. It was a big seller before Prohibition, and after decades in obscurity, it’s fashionable again. Fun fact: George Washington distilled Rye Whiskey at Mount Vernon.

Member Reviews and Ratings of WhistlePig Whiskey Homestock
Michael
Michael,
Decent kinda expected more for it being whistle pig (love their 10 year rye and 12 year) but this lacked alot reminded me more of Jack Daniel’s flavor wise but with less of the burn that jack has
 
Kerry
Kerry,
A decent whiskey but for the buck it was over hyped. We were tasting Heaven's Door and 2 Westward single malt American whiskeys and we liked all of them better than this Whistle Pig.
 
Diane
Diane,
Flavor and warmth nicely balanced with a smooth finish. A favorite Irish whiskey
 
Guy
Guy,
Never had drank Rye Whiskey before. Loved the smooth taste.
 
tom
tom,
Loved it, smooth and enjoyable.
 
Brad
Brad,
There really just isn’t much to it. Super smooth but not much flavor or heat. Just kinda bland
 
Randy
Randy,
Definitely one of my new favorites.
 
John
John,
This is not a straight rye, which Whistlepig is known for. This is a multi-grain whiskey. That being said, enjoyable but a little pricy.
 
Alex
Alex,
Very smooth, light color, light afterburn, great flavor
 
Carl
Carl,
I received this one is a free sample, liked it enough to buy a bottle.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Like this a lot. A bit bitey to want to drink straight, but pretty good on ice.
 
Kevin
Kevin,
The Whistlepig was not worth the price paid. I think several <%50 products are a better value, such as Few and Woodford Reserve.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
This is my favorite of the 3 Whistle Pig bottles I picked up from Flaviar. Nice well-rounded taste with a bit of spice. Easy to drink if you're familiar with/a fan of Rye.
 
Amanda
Amanda,
Delicious. Just add ice.
 
Peter
Peter,
Excellent taste. Very shuttle and smooth.
 
guest
guest,
a fruit forward rye that goes for days. Starts with spice and toffee that intermingles dark berries light oak that finishes vanilla waffers
 
Curt
Curt,
I’m not a huge Rye fan so I wasn’t sure about this one. I was pleasantly surprised with this blend. It was smooth and flavorful. I have another bottle on order.
 
Kyle
Kyle,
Taste is better than most of the WP lineup, mostly sentimental connection because of the blending together alone
 
Michael
Michael,
Light, somewhat bland
 
mark
mark,
That disappeared in one evening with a friend quite easily. Smooth and warm with no bite on the rocks or neat. Definitely an addition to my list of favorites.

Great finish. Smooth.

David,
Really loved this. Broke it out during a party and all loved!

Not what I expected. I am a regular WP drinker- I will stick with the 12 year thanks.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Appearance: Color is amber, decent legs... Nose: Cinnamon apples, barley, nutmeg?, an assortment of baking spices. Holiday spice cabinet... Palate: Warm cinnamon sugar and grain, almost like a cheap churro but not quite as sweet. Background apple note, but not as notable as on the nose. Unique, though not that special... Mouthfeel: Average... Finish: Continuation of the barley grain and cinnamon note... Overall: Unique, different flavor profile than a Rye, Wheat, or Single Malt Whiskey, but not my style.
 
Audrey
Audrey,
Love it! Just the right amount of smoothness and tang.
 
Pat
Pat,
Nice and mellow with a little spice at the end.
 
Vivek
Vivek,
I don’t think it was anything special, somewhat disappointed in it
 
Steve
Steve,
I got a sample of this and have to admit it was the first taste of any of the whistle pig products and I wasn’t impressed at all. Didn’t care for the nose and didn’t care for the taste. After trying that I tried the piggyback rye 6 yr and absolutely loved it.
 
Cory
Cory,
True, it’s not the best whistlepig. But I’ve only had the ten year and twelve in different versions and I honestly think this one is still really enjoyable. Not the usual hot spice but still keeps its character as a whistlepig!
 
Michael
Michael,
Thin, lacking in any significant aroma and pale in color. Taste is primarily sweet. I wouldn’t recommend.
 
Mark
Mark,
Weaker than expected
 
Patrick
Patrick,
Loved it. Super smooth. Slight smell of Carmel and bit of vanilla on the back end. Was great straight up and also over rocks.

Yeah...why only 1 star...?
Jeff
Jeff,
Cherry aroma, smooth, yet light finish without much spice. Nothing to write home about, but would make a good old fashioned or manhattan, I imagine.
 
Gary
Gary,
A nice blend and smooth with the right bite.
 
Nancy
Nancy,
Awesome !! It has become a Top Shelf in our home bar !
 
Donald
Donald,
Nice with that expected Rye bite finish. Makes a great Manhattan and a good sipping whiskey.
 
David
David,
As a "non" connoisseur, I enjoyed it. But probably wouldn't purchase again.
 
Steve
Steve,
Really liked this it was sweet not a ton of heat and really enjoyed over an ice ball. This I would buy if I saw in the store.
 
John
John,
Not happy with this one. Hard to explain; it just didn't work for my wife and I. I'll use in mixers, never straight
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Nice smooth taste, not too much of an alcohol bite. Very drinkable.
 
David
David,
Yellow gold color with thin rim and beady drops in a glen cairn. Mild grain nose, with building spice. The mix of grains is very unique to the nose and is pleasant, if not outstanding. Herbal notes and lemongrass come with some air. Palate is soft, wine-forward with a little heat and yeast. Red fruit backs it up leaning towards orchard fruit. Finish is medium length and slightly hot and drying, with red fruit following. Coating mouthfeel with a light-to-medium body.
 
Joel
Joel,
Reasonably smooth, but kind of bland. Got a sample, don't know the price point, but wouldn't pay more than $30 or so for a full sized bottle. If this is introduced at a higher price point than that, there are much better whiskeys out there.
 
Hal
Hal,
It has a sharp, spicy taste, which let's you know you are drinking a whiskey. The finish gives a reason to keep drinking it, with the flavors which are initially overwhelmed by the spice, linger on the tongue. It is a great drinking whiskey when I want something with a little bite to it.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
I like it . The process to get this fine Whiskey was cool and inventive . Smooth stuff, I give it eight !
 
Christine
Christine,
Enjoyed it very much. Smooth and mild.
 
Lance
Lance,
Exceptionally smooth blend. Not too hot, with very limited pepper like you might expect from a rye blend. Very approachable - will definitely try again.
 
Edward
Edward,
Loved it, shared it. Bought another one as a thank you to someone helping us with projects. Excellent blend. Proud to be a part of this.
 
Duane
Duane,
Very light and bland. Not much here for me.
Vivek
Vivek,
Agreed
Michael
Michael,
From the moment I opened the bottle and got that great smell I know this one was special. It is so smooth a blend I glad I had a chance to be part of the process.
 
Justin
Justin,
Not as good as simple ten year whistlepig
 
Oliver
Oliver,
The first sip teases of a bite but comes through with a very smooth finish. Will be trying the other pigs soon.
 
James
James,
A little biased being a huge fan of WhistlePig, but this whiskey is smooth, delicious, and very well blended. It won't "blow your mind" but great all the same.
 
Andres
Andres,
So good, So special so reasonably priced for the quality! Keeps me coming back for it.
 
Kenneth
Kenneth,
I might be biased, but I love it.
 
Steven
Steven,
Smooth, aromatic, just the right "bite".
 
Gregg
Gregg,
I was hoping for more. Not impressed with this offering from the Pig
 
Philip
Philip,
very smooth and drinkable. perfect blend
 
Paul
Paul,
Almost undrinkable. Until this bottle, I ve loved everything that I've tried from WP. I've come to expect a peppery, spicey, vanilla flavors from WhistlePig and this was none of that. Sickly sweet with a boiled orange peel after taste. I didn't notice before buying that there was a high concentration of Canadian Rye... and I've yet to taste one one those that I like, either.
Gregg
Gregg,
It’s ok in mixed drink......
David
David,
Smooth. Great finish.
 
Ian
Ian,
This is one of the most unique whiskeys I’ve ever tried. It is very Christmas baking spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc) forward in a very authentic way. Smooth, flavorful, and a rare experience for whiskey. I was honestly blown away!
 
Kieran
Kieran,
Nice sipping! Exceptionally smooth.
 
Regan
Regan,
Smooth with a light nose and a bit of spice and vanilla.
 
Jim
Jim,
Definite notes of caramel, dried fruit, and leather to the nose, mildly spicy and vanilla at first taste, with a sweet and fruity middle and short finish. A nice offering and excellent work by the Flaviar crowd.
 
Troy
Troy,
Super smooth.
 
Michael
Michael,
Interesting, liked this better than the previous WhistlePig I'd had. I missed getting the tasting kit by a couple hours, but wanted to try the results.
 
Jerry
Jerry,
A lot of Oak on the nose. good heat throughout vanilla and cinnamon with subtle caramel and slight fruit on the back end.
 
Mark
Mark,
Light is the first thing that comes to mind. Exceptionally smooth. Drink this neat or not at all
 
Nate
Nate,
Just loved this spirit. Just takes a one finger pour if straight, or cover your ice if you go that route, and you have a whisky that can be sipped for the evening.
 
Mike
Mike,
The nose was sweet vanilla with a hint of spice. The palate was initially sweet vanilla or caramel, followed by a spicy and sweet middle with maybe a little fruit, followed by a touch of oak and spice. It coated the mouth fairly well, but the finish was not very long. It is a good, smooth sipper and probably will be a great mixer.
 
Keivn
Keivn,
Nose: sweet, dried fruit Taste: spicy front, sweet middle, and eucalyptus finish. Nice warm hug.
 
Marcum
Marcum,
Smooth, sweet all the way through. Nice summer whiskey.
 
Laura
Laura,
Caramel and honey, super smooth
 
Bryan
Bryan,
Smooth, light and fruity served neat, but really opened up with a single ice cube.
 
Nick
Nick,
Smooth and a bit sweet. Tastes present to me were honey, caramel, and vanilla.
 
Richard
Richard,
Smooth, amazing, light taste. Really liked this and will be purchasing.
 
Chris
Chris,
This is my first Whistlepig, and makes a really good first impression. Even though the mash bill is mostly rye, it isn't as spicy as the ryes I have tried. Very fruity character on the nose, reminiscent of green grape to me. Definitely get notes of vanilla and toffee in the nose as well. Great mouthfeel, with an oiliness that coats the tongue. Spicy with notes of toffee on the front end, some vanilla mid-palate, and a berry freshness. Good, finish, with a slight non-bitter barrel flavor lingering for awhile
 
Rich
Rich,
Great offering but very pricy
 
Jeff
Jeff,
Very good. Smooth at the beginning with significant spice at the end. Like spicey marshmallow.
Tara
Tara,
I just tried it and I can't untaste what you described.... I had burnt caramel and vanilla..... and something I couldn't place..... ohhh yep! Marshmallow!
Jason
Jason,
I give this one a 10 just for the Cool Factor. Will revisit if I ever decide to open this bottle. I expect I won’t be able to hold out too long.
Andy
Andy,
Maybe you should review it after tasting it 👍 let us know if it's still a 10!
Chase
Chase,
Compared to WhistlePig 10 Year Rye I would rate 6.5/10. Much lighter, not as complex but still clearly a refined whiskey. Both spicy but Homestock tails off after spicy whereas 10 year Rye finishes strong with Rye and Mint flavor. For what it’s worth I think the 10 year Rye is superb so maybe not a fair comparison
 
Thomas
Thomas,
Good
 
Rick
Rick,
Nice up front, I'm getting some burnt grain flavor toward end. Not at deal breaker levels but unrefined
 
Christopher
Christopher,
Very impressed with the Flaviar crowd that came up with this blend! Delicious!
 
Mark
Mark,
I have to forget about WP 10 year when I drink this. Homestock tastes young and a little astringent in comparison. I absolutely LOVED the blending event--yes, I had a kit--but was on team wheat, not barley, so maybe that is part of the issue for me. Nonetheless, I will have no problem finishing the 2 bottles I ordered.
 
Alex
Alex,
Well balanced, smooth and delicious. And can we contact that person that rated it a 1 but had a glowing review, methinks he forgot a 0.
Cory
Cory,
Is it unique, or does it closely resemble some other whistlepig variants in your opinion?
Tom
Tom,
Bold taste with a nice finish.
 
Ted
Ted,
This is a perfect blend. As though I chose the blend personally.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
I like the bold flavor and the spice after a long day/night at work,perfect to end the day with!
Thomas
Thomas,
1 star? Haha
