WhistlePig Barrel Aged Maple Syrup Vermont

Detailed Description

At WhistlePig, they strive to produce the finest rye whiskies anywhere; however, for them it is about more than whiskey – it is about supporting and encouraging value-added agricultural industries in their home-state of Vermont. Consequently, they have sought to integrate all aspects of their production into their 1,200 acre farm. For the past four years they have grown and harvested rye for use in their whiskey; last spring they began harvesting oak from their own forests to produce barrels; and in October, they opened their distillery in their 100+ year old hay barn, finally realizing their dream of producing a single-estate rye whiskey. On top of it all, they produce a Grade A ‘Robust Amber’ maple syrup from 1500 maple trees that line the hillsides around the farm. Aged in their rye barrels for 6 months, the syrup is equal in quality to their whiskies and an excellent compliment in any cocktail.

Finish: A warm, smooth finish lingers with notes of a subtle sweetness.

Distillery Information

WhistlePig began when they purchased their farm in 2007. After a few years of deep consideration and personal reflection they committed themselves to crafting the world’s finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, they discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused.
