WhistlePig PiggyBack 6 Year Old

WhistlePig PiggyBack 6 Years Old 100% Rye is a testament to the late master distiller Dave Pickerell’s profound dedication to rye whiskey. Dave’s vision was clear: to craft “the best rye whisky for use in the world’s best cocktails.” He diligently pursued this goal and swiftly determined the perfect age and bottling strength for this exceptional rye—a minimum of six years of maturation, bottled precisely at 96.56 proof. PiggyBack stands as a tribute to Dave’s relentless pursuit of excellence in the world of rye whiskey.

Tasting Note by WhistlePig:
Nose: On the nose, fresh cinnamon and black peppercorn mingle, with a hint of tangerine and grapefruit zest.
Palate: Powerfully spicy on the palate, with cocoa, cardamom and cured leather flavours enhancing the grain-forward character.
Finish: The finish is wonderfully lengthy with lingering notes of baking spices, oak and vanilla plus hints of citrus throughout.
