The brand calls this their "triple-terroir expression," utilizing rye grain, water, and oak locally sourced from their grain-to-glass Vermont farm distillery that opened in 2015. Farmstock Crop No. 001 is a rye whiskey comprised of 20% WhistlePig's triple-terroir whiskey that aged in Vermont oak for at least 1 year, 49% 5-year rye whisky from Alberta Distillers that also aged in Vermont oak, and 31% 12-year rye from MGP in Indiana. All were blended together and bottled at 43% ABV.

Tasting Notes

"Although the assemblage of whiskey here is rather exotic, the nose shows classic high-tone notes of orange, grapefruit peel, and cracked, pink peppercorn that is juxtaposed by a weighty impression of vanilla cream and toasted oak. The palate is fairly light for a whiskey from this label, but the older spirits in the blend bring an admirable sweetness and a roundness that leads to a finish that lingers with honeycomb and slight hint of spice."
