I bought a pour of this last week during a business dinner. Was in a mood for rye, thought it would pair well with the fusion Asian entree. ( I was wrong...maybe a Riesling would’ve been perfect, and if were to be a whiskey, a speysider like Balvenie would’ve worked). You would think this packs a punch at 50 ABV, but it’s masked by really delightful baking spices aroma and palette. It’s like walking into a bake shop, just when vanilla shortbread cookies are coming out of the oven. Considering the price ( I paid $6 for a pour), it’s definately worth it. I’ve had two Whistlepigs so far, and am favorably impressed by it. Granted, it’s sourced, not made...so I can’t really call it a craft distillery. But makes me look forward to when they manage their own full development.
