WhistlePig Boss Hog 2019 - The Samurai Scientist
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!
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Intensely aromatic, with cinnamon, maple, and toasted marshmallow that develops with time in the glass.
Palate
Tobacco, ginger, baking spices, and savory umami creating a remarkably rich, nuanced and elegant profile lending to soft, sweet notes that further color the mosaic of flavor.
Finish
Incredibly long, with oak spice, char, and just a touch of smoke lingers as the finish fades.
Winner of 1 spirit awards
