Farmstock Beyond Bonded Straight Rye is the first "grain to glass bottling" for WhistlePig. It is made from 100% Remington rye harvested on the WhistlePig Farm in Vermont, distilled and proofed with local water, and aged in Vermont Estate Oak casks. There are 24 rye barrels in the first allotment released in 2021 with the oldest of the bunch aged at 4 years, 8 months and 14 days.
These are bottled as a single barrel selections, at 100.1 proof (slightly over BIB requirements, hence the name). .

Tasting Notes
"The aroma is a bit dusty and notes of pencil shavings, dried grass, apple skins, and oak are present. It is full of spices, but in a general spice market sense rather than specific spices. The whiskey is fairly tight and lean on the palate and the finish ends with flavors of oak and dried herbs. Overall the whiskey is savory/spicy with little sweetness. From an educational view point, the whiskey is interesting to try, but it might serve better in a blend or with a more diverse mash bill. "
