The ninth edition in The Boss Hog series was crafted by WhistlePig's Head Blender Meghan Ireland and Head of Whisky Development Liz Rhoades who were inspired by the Nine Muses of Greek mythology. Each limited edition straight rye whiskey bottling is aged in American oak and then finished in two types of seasoned casks — Greek fig nectar and farm-scratch Tentura, a Greek liqueur. Notably, both finishes were made by the Vermont distillery team using Greek and local ingredients. These are single barrel expressions bottled at cask proof so the proof ranges from 102.5-106.2 (51.

Tasting Notes

"The nose is more brandy-like than whiskey-like with peaches, pears, and grapes and almost a mulled wine like aroma. The rye notes is there along with a smoky charred barrel aroma, but you've got to really get your nose in there. There's also a top note of honey which sits atop it all. Mind you, these are all pleasing aromas; just not ones you're used to finding in a whiskey. Moving on to the taste, this is where the rye kicks into gear. The darker grain notes are there along with some classic cherry and cola notes. The whiskey is on the dry, tannic side but the cask finishes have added some much needed sweetness making it overall just a little sweet. As you go back to grab another sniff and the mulled wine and honeyed fruit comes back again. Not entirely sure the flavors have quite meshed as it's a bit of back-and-forth on the flavors, but it's a not a bad way to spend the evening. "
