With the vision to reinvent Rye, a group of enthusiasts in the US state of Vermont built their own distillery. Since 2007, WhistlePig has been home to over 500 acres of farmland in Shoreham for the cultivation of rye and grain. The dairy barn has been converted into a distillery, the milk chamber into a central location for the whiskey bottling process, and the farm into a space for experimental whiskey production. The visionary, founder and master distiller Dave Pickerell, who passed away in 2018, entrusted this to perhaps the industry’s youngest, most restless and rebellious team. Together, they made WhistlePig the leading distillery for premium rye whiskeys in North America.  

Their exceptional, flavor-intensified bottlings made from almost 100 percent rye (only minimum 51 percent is required) are now available on the German market as well. WhistlePig Small Batch Rye 10 y.o. is the original of the range – a 100% rye whiskey, matured in Virgin Oak and Bourbon Casks to become one of the most highly-prized rye whiskeys in the world.
