One of WhistlePig’s oldest whiskeys, Estate Oak Rye is for the true connoisseur of Rye. It takes its name from their Vermont Estate Oak, where it finishes its long, 15 year life.
Sustainably harvested right off WhistlePig's 500-acre farm, the wood has more rings than the standard American oak used in whiskey barrels, imparting more flavor during maturation.
Custom toast and char profiles takes the flavor even further, just like a perfectly toasted marshmallow. Hitting the bottle at 92-proof, the liquid is assertive and wise beyond its 15 year age statement, and boasts a score of 97 points from Wine Enthusiast. A pure expression of Vermont’s finest, our favorite way to enjoy WhistlePig 15 is fireside on a crisp evening with a perfectly toasted marshmallow.
Aroma: Deep and rich, dominated by caramel, vanilla, and oak with hints of allspice and burnt orange.
Palate: Warm, rich, and slightly creamy. Loads of butterscotch and baking spice with leather and a hint of tobacco.
Finish: Ultra long and rich, warm, and inviting.
Alc. Vol: 46% ABV (92º Proof)
