Neat. Neck pour. Ohio Rich Pig. Nose is very interesting. Strong cereal and rye bread. Slight vanilla. Black pepper. Cinnamon covered pear. Proof will catch up to you (118) if you aren’ careful. Transitioning into maple covered pancakes even.
Nice creamy, oily feel. Brown sugar and honey on the tongue. Transitions to a big rye blast which lingers on the legs. The finish brings in a nice vanilla and baking spice. Little hint of dill at the front on subsequent sips.
I can see why this one in the series is called “Rich Pig.” The flavors on the taste are very dense and pronounced. It’s a very delicious rye. I believe I have had better Whistle Pig Single Barrels though. Could be an unfair comparison being this is a neck pour. If this one does improve with a little time on the shelf, it has a chance to be special.
