WhistlePig 12 Year Old - Old World Whiskey

My god .what a lovely drink warm on the throat and goes down a treat .worth every penny.

I love Rye, but this one with the different finishes is so impressive!

Not quite as light & bright as the 10 yr, but it is a little softer & sweeter with a good bit more caramel flavor on the front of the tongue - definitely creamier in texture.

This stuff is absolutely splendid. It tastes like a $100 whiskey should taste. The nose is my favorite part but that doesn’t mean the rest disappoints at all. I get a sweet whiff of fruit; berries and tart apples, possibly caramel apple specifically, (unless I’m just crazy :-D) and a hint of vanilla followed by some rye spice at the end.

The spice is more forward on the palate, not to the point of overpowering, but to where it actually kinda makes me think of toasted rye bread, but the different cask finishes still come through, riding on a light fruity wave into the finish, in which I get a heavy fresh mint flavor in the back of the throat.

It’s a fantastic symphony of flavor from start to finish. If you want to splurge 100 bucks or so on a bottle of rye, this is the way to go.

Absolutely outstanding whiskey. I work my way through a lot of different whiskies but so far, I think it may be rather bold to say; but this could well be the best I have ever tried. It has so much going for itself, you enter a world of flavours one after the other. Incredibly smooth, lovely fruity smell followed by rather nutty after-tones. I only tried a glass of this but I wanted to make it last hours. I will for sure buy a whole bottle for the future because it is truly a remarkable beverage.

Outstanding Whiskey for its price, personally I think it is the best in their range and they are all excellent. Extremely well balanced whiskey and very interesting given the three different cask finishes, one of the best I have ever tried from across the pond.

Had a pour at my local pub. Love it! Earthy, nutty, smooth. But not boring.

A delicious smooth whiskey with fruity notes both bold and flavorful.
