Oh, and they never expire...
In 2017, WhistlePig released their fourth edition of the Boss Hog (an annual bottling that showcases some extraordinarily excellent rye whiskey), which was dubbed The Black Prince. They sourced a 14 year old rye whiskey from Indiana, USA and finished it in casks that previously held Armagnac - something that hasn't been done before! It was named after Edward of Woodstock, who was said to have enjoyed Armagnac back in the 14th century.
This expression was named Best in Show Whiskey at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017 - a massive achievement!
Nose: Pipe tobacco, roasted fig, resinous oak, a touch of black tea and fragrant incense.
Palate: Chocolate peanuts, orange oil, maple syrup, a whack of spicy clove and toasted staves.
Finish: A burst of bright orchard fruit and creamy butterscotch.

Previously I was privileged to have tried a 2013 WhistlePig Boss Hog and it was in a word magical. I've literally been searching for a bottle of Boss Hog for 3 years in order to add to my collection. Boss Hog is so hard to find in the U.S. that the only way you can get your hands on it is if you are selected to be a part of an auction. Needless to say as soon as I saw it available here I purchased it and told some fellow collectors if they really want it they'd better order it soon before it disappears again.
