Whistlepig The Boss Hog X

The Boss Hog X transcends tradition with a double finish where each barrel of Straight Rye Whiskey is aged in new American Oak before completing its journey in two unorthodox finishing barrels. The first is seasoned with our own experimental spirit – distilled from rye and whey, infused with aromatic resins from the genera commonly known as Frankincense and Myrrh  – delivering notes of crème brûlée, lemongrass and rosemary to the final whiskey. The second and final finish is aged in craft mead casks, offering a mellow, round-bodied finish with hints of red berries and freshly crushed black pepper.

93 Points – Whiskey Advocate

“A warm nose of ginger, cinnamon muffin baked dough, and sweetness. The palate offers candied orange and candied berries, bakery notes, dark chocolate, and cherry coulis. It’s very complex, but the texture is smooth and honeyed, with heat and spice to temper the sweetness. On the finish, candied orange, warm butter, licorice, and vanilla. Flavourful and enjoyable, with complexity and bite. You’ll definitely want to keep on sipping.’
