WhistlePig Boss Hog 2019 - The Samurai Scientist 70cl Whiskey

The 2019 Boss Hog expression from WhistlePig has a pretty bloomin' cool subtitle - The Samurai Scientist! It was named after Jokichi Takamine, who pioneered koji fermentation in the world of American whiskey over a century ago. The rye whiskey itself was indeed made with koji fermentation, and it was finished in casks that held Japanese umeshu. As ever with the Boss Hog releases, these are single barrel whiskeys - no barrel blending here, folks!
