WhistlePig 12yr Rye
WhistlePig’s 12-Year Old World Rye, also known as Old World, is a blend of 12-year maturation Rye—sourced originally from Canadian and later Alberta whiskey—finished in three distinct wine barrels (Madeira 63%, Sauternes 30%, Port 7%) and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV). This finishing imparts a bright, dessert‑wine sweetness to a traditional rye backbone, melding notes of mixed berries, caramel, oak, and gentle rye spice, with softened herbal and minty accents.
On the palate, it’s surprisingly light and fruity—showcasing honeydew melon, bergamot, dark fruit candy, and subtle wood spice, though some find the mouthfeel slimmer than expected for its age. The finish holds medium length with lingering rye warmth, mint, and molasses, but can feel underpowered—especially at its modest proof.
