About this spirit

WhistlePig Piggyback 6 Year Old Rye Whiskey is a bold and versatile American rye, crafted with a 100% rye mash bill to deliver powerful spice and character. WhistlePig Piggyback 6 Year Old Rye Whiskey was created by the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell as a whiskey designed for both sipping and mixing. Distilled and aged in Vermont, it is matured for six years in American oak barrels, striking a balance between youthful vibrancy and mature complexity. Its mash bill of 100% rye sets it apart from many other rye whiskies, offering an intensity of flavour that makes it a favourite among bartenders and enthusiasts alike. On the nose, it opens with fresh cinnamon, black peppercorn and hints of tangerine and grapefruit zest, creating a lively and aromatic bouquet. The palate is powerfully spicy, showcasing flavours of cocoa, cardamom and cured leather, underpinned by the bold grain character of rye. As the flavours develop, notes of baking spices and vanilla emerge, adding warmth and balance. The finish is long and lingering, with citrus zest and sweet spice leaving a memorable impression. This whiskey is celebrated for its versatility, with a flavour profile that works beautifully in classic cocktails such as the Manhattan or Old Fashioned, while also being smooth enough to enjoy neat. The bottle itself has been designed with bartenders in mind, shaped for ease of use behind the bar, further emphasising its role as a whiskey crafted for mixing as well as savouring. WhistlePig Piggyback 6 Year Old Rye Whiskey represents the distillery’s commitment to innovation and quality, offering a spirit that is approachable yet distinctive. With its bold spice, layered complexity and enduring finish, it is a rye that captures the essence of WhistlePig’s craftsmanship and makes an excellent addition to any collection.
