Whistlepig 18 Year Double Malt Rye Whiskey

WhistlePig 18 Year Double Malt Rye Whiskey is an aged rye whiskey crafted to showcase the depth and complexity that long maturation can deliver. Aged for eighteen years and bottled at 92 proof, this expression is built on a distinctive mash bill of 79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley. The use of two malted grains adds layered character, combining the bold spice of rye with softer floral, earthy, and toasted notes. The whiskey is matured patiently in oak and finished in PX sherry casks, allowing the spirit to develop a broad flavor spectrum with balance and structure.

On the nose, aromas of red apple, vanilla, herbs, and baking spice emerge with hints of oak and citrus. The palate offers a creamy texture that carries peppery rye spice alongside notes of caramel, dark fruit, nutmeg, and toasted grain. As the whiskey opens in the glass, subtle sweetness and malt richness appear, leading to a long warming finish layered with oak, vanilla, and lingering spice. This mature rye delivers complexity that appeals to collectors and experienced whiskey drinkers looking for depth and character in a long aged expression.
