WhistlePig 6 Year PiggyBack Rye

Spicy and slightly sweet.

Rich and moderately spicy. Cinnamon, light vanilla and mildly fruity. Tasted neat. Overall, bland and unremarkable. I don’t have a lot of experience with rye whiskeys, but the ones I’ve had we’re really good, Handy and Willett 4 & 6 year. The Willett ryes I’ve had we’re comparable in age and price. I would’ve thought that WhistlePig was somewhere in the ballpark, at least in the parking lot. Not even close.
