This is the second limited edition release in WhistlePig's FarmStock series, which is intended to achieve what the distillery has termed its '100% Triple Terroir vision'. This entails creating an expression which is distilled entirely from WhistlePig grain, proofed with WhistlePig water and aged in WhistlePig custom Vermont White Oak. Which all sounds deliciously WhistlePig!
The blend that went into FarmStock Rye Crop 002 was crowdsourced from an estimated 500 bartenders, influencers, and consumers from around the United States, with 32% of it being 2-year-old 'Triple Terroir' rye whiskey (up from 20% from WhistlePig FarmStock Crop No.001). A 6-year-old whiskey from MPGI in Indiana makes up a further 45% of the blend, while the final 23% is 10-year-old whiskey from Alberta Distillers in Canada. Peter Lynch, the distillery’s master blender worked closely with the master distiller, Dave Pickerell, to perfect the final blend.
Warm mellow spices on the nose like allspice and cinnamon with some orangey fruit
Fresh fruity notes then pungent and spicy with a little tobacco character
Chocolate on the finish but with a nice savoury edge, good length
Distinctive and effortlessly drinkable. According to Pickerell: "It's for people who want to drink whiskey all day long.”

Have been fortunate to try quite a lot of the Whistle Pig range thanks to have a friend in Indiana who has bought a large part of the range. Love the 10, 15 and Boss Hog so bought this when I saw it was being released, it’s a fantastic pour, stunning from nose to finish, worth every penny...it’s the one whiskey my wife can drink... I might have to hide it from her
