Reviewed December 3, 2019Nose is Sherry cask, fruit and hints of tobacco/vanilla/caramel. Some cobwebs and barnyard notes. Smooth, soft, rich mouthfeel. Very well balanced. Rolled rye/oats mid palate and a chocolate finish. I'm not as fond of Sherry casked Scotch as I once was, but this is enjoyable. Some lingering warmth in the chest. -

WhistlePig The Boss Hog V: The Spirit of Mauve
Rye — (bottled in Vermont), Canada
Reviewed October 25, 2019Nose is Earthy sweetness, maple, vanilla and ripe fruit. Same hay mow aroma that seems to come through in all the WP offerings. Thick, viscous body carries an incredibly complex blend of flavors. More barrel comes through in this, but it's unbelievable how well balanced and easy to drink it is for its proof Dark, toasted grains, sweetness that lingers and mixes with a bit of barrel char. Long, meandering finish leaves some stickiness on the palate with cobwebs and burnt sugar. -
