Dave Pickerell designed Piggyback for bartenders and cocktails in 2018 shortly before his passing. The pig in the logo on the bottle wears a Stetson rather than the typical top hat in honor of Dave. The bottle design is also different from most of the WhistlePig line to make it easier to pour. It has a 100% rye mash bill sourced from WhistlePig’s original source, Alberta Distillery in Calgary. It is aged for 6 years and bottled at 96.56 proof. PiggyBack has an amber tone and a cinnamon and peppercorn nose. The rye produces a powerful spicy flavor with hints of cocoa. Some woody notes intermingle with the smooth rye as the finish trails with vanilla and spices.
