    WhistlePig 12 Year Old - Old World

    Unveiled in mid-2015, the WhistlePig Old World is an exciting 12 year old straight rye whiskey which has been finished in a selection of wine casks - 63% Madeira, 30% Sauternes and 7% Port. It's inspired by the techniques of the 'old world', with a particular reverence for Scotch whisky...

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Sponge cake topped with buttercream icing, chocolate chip cookies, a whiff of savoury oak.

    Palate

    Red berry sweetness jumps out right away - raspberry, raisin and cherry notes. Drying cinnamon and nutmeg, joined by a hint of anise.

    Finish

    Honeyed cereal, white wine, mint leaf, dark chocolate.

    Fruitylicious

    Wow. I bought a sample of this and was blown away. I'm not usually all that great at picking out specific flavours but you really can taste cherry and raspberry in this. It's fairly smooth and incredibly tasty, especially if left to breathe for a while. I think I've found my new favourite dram.

    My favourite Rye whisky!

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

    Similar to 10 yr, but softer & more caramel

    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.

    Arguably my favorite rye whiskey

    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.
