  • The 18-year-old WhistlePig Double Malt Rye has an enticing nose and oily mouth feel. Notes of cinnamon and allspice are evident throughout the tasting process.

  • Overall, this is really well executed. I was really wary of this release given the high price and the “collector” appeal that they seem to be going with but the quality is here and it’s extremely enjoyable.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Bright orange peel, citrus, rye spice, clove, pepper and honey. Vibrant, funky and sweet.

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouthfeel, not too thick but plenty complex. Heat is well placed. Honey, praline, toffee and bright citrus sweetness. Lime zest, rising bread, brown sugar and clove.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, rich and pepper. Tons of rye spice, raw pepper character. It’s rich, spicy, fruity, everything I love in a rye.

  • Overall:

    Overall, this is really well executed. I was really wary of this release given the high price and the “collector” appeal that they seem to be going with but the quality is here and it’s extremely enjoyable.
