Let's all start with the admission that Whistle Pig is the undisputed Rye king. Every bottle seems to display a mastery the rest of the whiskey world tries to match. PiggyBack is a young rye which might be scary from other distilleries, but this is WP so away we go with not a worry on mind. Nose is forresty (I realize I made that word up, but tell me I'm wrong). I get flashes of a spring hike through the woods. Taste is smooth like most Rye is not. I have no idea how they do this at every proof and age point, but once again WP has made an incredibly drinkable Rye. Flavor is layered of fresh baked goods and light pine. Banana nut muffins with cinnamon dusting dance into the sunset. Sazerac may get the popular vote, but WP is hands down most likely to succeed.
