Introducing the first American Whiskey finished in Japanese Umeshu Barrels. The result of a true collaboration between WhistlePig and Kitaya brewery on Japan’s Kyushu island, The Boss Hog Edition 六: The Samurai Scientist is inspired by WhistlePig’s passion for pushing the boundaries of Rye Whiskey, fusing Japanese and American techniques. On the rare occasion that Dave Pickerell’s five promises are realized, WhistlePig releases a whiskey that epitomizes WhistlePig’s odyssey to unlock the potential of Rye Whiskey. This well-aged Straight Rye Whiskey was created using koji fermentation. Each bottle is adorned by The Samurai Scientist – Jōkichi Takamine – who pioneered koji fermentation in the American whiskey industry over a century ago. A true pioneer spirit, this powerfully complex single barrel rye is bottled at proof. This is an incredibly special WhistlePig release, distinctly unique from anything ever done before.

Distillery Information
WhistlePig began when we purchased our farm in 2007. After a few years of deep consideration and personal reflection, we committed ourselves to craft the world’s finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, we discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused.
