WhistlePig Homestock Whiskey

Clean, good on the rocks

70” I’m going to have to let this bottle breathe and revisit. I wasn’t impressed as of right now and I feel it made need time. Whistle pig Nose: Corn Oaky barrel spice Grain Palette: Smooth Oaky Licorice Musty

A bit different from WhistlePig’s usual offerings. Color is rather light, but this belies the punch of the first sip. Nice spice off the top with a slight sweetness following and the spice returning for a long finish. 45% rye, 30% wheat and a higher barley content at 25% make up the mash bill. A blend of whiskeys from Canada and Vermont based on fan votes from home during the early days of Covid make this an interesting collaboration. Maybe not worth the $70 price tag, but a decent whiskey. No regrets in buying it, but probably won’t buy a second bottle.

Light, sweet, honey
