WhistlePig Rye Flight

WhistlePig Rye Flight

Vinifera | Wine to WhiskeyCuyahoga Falls, OH
Saturday, Mar 28 from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm
Overview

Taste four WhistlePig rye whiskeys side-by-side, from PiggyBack through a 15-year expression.

Join us for a guided rye tasting featuring WhistlePig, a Vermont farm distiller known for bold rye and long aging. You will taste four pours, compare proof and age statements, and learn how barrel choices shape aroma, body, and finish.

WhistlePig began in 2007 when founder Raj Bhakta bought a Vermont farm with the goal of reviving American rye whiskey, working with Master Distiller Dave Pickerell. Over time, the brand grew from early sourced rye into a farm-to-bottle approach, including its “Triple Terroir” focus on grain, water, and oak.

You will taste:

  • WhistlePig PiggyBack
    100% Rye, 6 Year, 96.56 Proof
    Mash bill of 100% rye for a bold, spice-forward profile.
  • WhistlePig 10 Year
    Rye, 10 Year, 100 Proof
    The small batch rye that launched the brand, high rye character with layered spice.
  • WhistlePig 12 Year
    Rye, 12 Year, 86 Proof
    Aged 12 years, then finished in Madeira (63%), Sauternes (30%), and Port (7%) barrels and blended for a richer, finished style.
  • WhistlePig 15 Year
    Rye, 15 Year, 92 Proof
    Aged with custom toast and char profiles using sustainably harvested oak from the farm, built for deeper barrel-driven flavor.
