WhistlePig Boss Hog VIII - Lapulapu's Pacific
A single-barrel rye whiskey from WhistlePig, this is the eighth edition of the exceptional Boss Hog range. It's called LapuLapu's Pacific in honour of the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu, who killed Ferdinand Magellan at the Battle of Mactan and, in doing, delayed the Spanish occupation of the islands by over forty years. Appropriately the whiskey, aged first in American oak, was transferred to casks that previously held single island small batch rum from the Philippines for a second maturation.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Rich lush vanilla aromas give way to delicate tropical notes including underripe bananas, freshly picked lemon, and molasses.
Palate
Abundant fresh ground cinnamon with citrus zest, butterscotch, and light notes of toffee.
Finish
Tanned leather, light brown sugar, nutmeg, and allspice with a long-lasting black pepper rye spice.
