On Tuesday, WhistlePig Whiskey announced the release of PiggyBank Rye, a whiskey contained in a pig-shaped bottle. This is WhistlePig’s second release of PiggyBank following its debut last December.
Bottled 110 proof, PiggyBank is a 10-year-old rye whiskey.
“The PiggyBank is back! We’re thrilled to reintroduce this Berkshire Bitter pig inspired collectible in time for the holidays,” WhistlePig Head Blender Meghan Ireland said in a news release. “Outside of the ham-some decanter, this 110 proof expression of WhistlePig 10 delivers a unique experience of our original Rye that highlights bright and vibrant notes of mint and dill, with light truffle notes on the palette. Our classic long and spicy finish with rich oak tannin rounds out the sipping experience. It’s our favorite whiskey for a holiday toast, especially for giving thanks and giving back.”
WhistlePigPiggyBank Rye is available online for the first time this year and can be purchased here for $249.99 per 1-liter porcine decanter. It can also be found for the same suggested retail price at premium liquor stores across the U.S.
WhistlePig says the time to collect this bottle is “snout or never,” as this is the final release of the amber pig-shaped bottle, with “collectible variations to follow in future years.”
The bottle is sold in collectible packaging with a piggybank theme, which has a coin slot that WhistlePig says should be used to “begin saving for the next great cause.”
