Produced in Vermont, WhistlePig PiggyBack Alfa Romeo F1 Team Rye is a limited edition, high-rye whiskey selected by Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake drivers. Bottled at 96.77 proof in honor of Valtteri Bottas' racing number, 77, it is inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, and finished with lychee and oolong tea. The barrels were trialed in the team's wind tunnel in Switzerland and exposed to varying levels of G-Forces at the WhistlePig farm and distillery.
It’s just so exuberant it’s hard to put down — but WhistlePig Alfa Romeo is a whiskey I actually enjoy nosing more than drinking. Though that’s plenty of fun, too. Zoom zoom.
