WhistlePig Old World Series Sauternes Finish Rye 12 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey

Whiskey: WhistlePig Old World Series Sauternes Finish Rye 12 Year Old Straight Rye
This type of wine is a famous sweet white type from France. What Pickerell and his crew did, after beginning to study last spring how whiskies of the old world (i.e. Scotch) are handled, was to fill these casks with 12-year-old rye that’s got a mash bill of a 95% rye and 5% malted barley from MGP Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

This Sauternes barrel-finished whiskey from WhistlePig is the first in its Old World series, a trio of wine-cask-finished 12-year-old ryes. Sauternes, a sweet French white wine, has a delicacy that sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from the bold, brawny rye, which is made in Indiana from 95% rye and 5% malted barley, but the wine’s flavors have an impressive impact on the whiskey.
