batch 4
The WhistlePig Double Malt Rye boasts a remarkable 18-year maturation, making it our most aged Rye. In the past, farmers in America utilized a small proportion of malted grains to initiate the fermentation process, which transformed water and rye into delectable whiskey. Our Double Malt Rye pays tribute to this technique by incorporating a mash bill of Rye, Malted Rye, and Malted Barley. Beyond its historical significance, this blend of grains results in an impressive Rye Whiskey that showcases a diverse range of flavors. The foundation of 79% Rye delivers robust, spicy notes, while 15% Malted Rye contributes subtle floral and earthy undertones. Finally, a 6% addition of malted barley brings forth delightful toasted sweetness.
