The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
Vermont’s WhistlePig has introduced FarmStock Rye Crop 003, completing the trilogy and marking a momentous step for WhistlePig, as it is the first ever majority WhistlePig whiskey.
Founded in 2008, WhistlePig is one of the distillers making the transition from a successful bottler of sourced products (in their case, from Alberta and Indiana) to their own in-house whiskeys. All of the mash bills are 100% rye, which is comprised of 52% of WhistlePig’s 3-year-old rye whiskey, blended with 31% 6-year aged whiskey and 17% 10-year aged whiskey from Alberta, Canada.
“Each annual release of FarmStock Rye not only adds dimension to the whiskey – as the farm continues to adapt and modernize – it also adds a new chapter to the WhistlePig story,” says Jeff Kozak, CEO, of WhistlePig. “While FarmStock Rye Crop 003 completes the Rye trilogy, we’re excited to continue showcasing our farm based innovation, leading not only the rye resurgence but the broader craft whiskey revival.”
Hand bottled in the barn at 86 proof, FarmStock Rye Crop 003 is 43% alc/vol with a suggested retail price of $72.99.
