Whistlepig "Bottleside" 12 Year Rye

WhistlePig “Bottleside” 12 Year Rye Bespoke blend is Bottlecraft‘s latest single barrel pick, hand-selected in collaboration with our friends at Fernside.

To select this barrel, Bottlecraft founder Brian Jensen and Fernside’s Christian Siglin made a trip out to WhistlePig’s Vermont distillery. Using a dropper and beaker, they combined the three finished whiskeys numerous ways until they came upon a blend that was balanced, flavorful and unique; a bespoke blend of Canadian rye whiskey finished in 75% Madeira, 20% Sauternes and 5% Port.

• Mash Bill: 94% Rye and 6% Barley
• Strength: 86 Proof / 43% ABV
• Total Yield: 132 Bottles
• Nose: honeysuckle, citrus, apricot
• Taste: A smooth, delicate body with notes of orange, spice, raisin and brown sugar.
• Finish: Gentle lingering rye spice

With the smooth body and delicate notes, we love drinking this whiskey neat, but it fairs well in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
