Bottling Notes

With Spirit sourced from Canada, this is single barrel rye whiskey, bottled at proof, powerfully complex and distinctly unique from anything WhistlePig have ever done!

Master Distiller, Dave Pickerell’s The Boss Hog Edition 六 (6) epitomises WhistlePig’s odyssey to unlock the potential of Rye Whiskey. It’s the first American Whiskey finished using Japanese Umeshu (fruit Liqueur barrels), the result of a true collaboration between WhistlePig and Kitaya brewery on Japan’s Kyushu island. This well aged Straight Rye Whiskey was created using koji fermentation. Each bottle is adorned with The Samurai Scientist – Jōkichi Takamine – who pioneered koji fermentation in the American whisky industry over a century ago.

Each bottle barrel is bottled at strength, between 120 – 122 proof.

Strictly one per person
