WhistlePig's annual Boss Hog releases are always very exciting expressions for rye enthusiasts, and the 2018 edition most certainly will make a few eyebrows raise excitedly. It's a 13 year old rye whiskey, which has been finished in Calvados casks, in honour of WhistlePig's Mauve and her love of apples. Apples are great, so that's understandable. The Calvados casks have helped to bolster the stewed orchard fruit notes at the core of the spirit.
Mulled cider, cardamom, candied ginger and a touch of piper tobacco. Caramel, vanilla and gentle Rye spice develops with time in the glass.
Maple syrup and pears are balanced by dark chocolate and French oak spice. With water, the spice moves front and center and a vibrant, fruit-forward character develops.
Lasting spice and a touch of charred oak and caramel, maple syrup lingers as the finish fades.
