Description
About WhistlePig The Boss Hog IX: Siren’s Song Straight Rye Whiskey
Aside from a great-sounding name, WhistlePig initially started as a dairy farm and then transformed into a whiskey-making haven in 2007. Their specialty is Rye Whiskey, and they’re famous for raising animals such as Kunekune pigs, sheep, goats, horses, and bees. Thanks to the former Master Distiller Dave Pickernell, WhistlePig gained momentum with Dave’s contribution to the initial stock of Canadian whiskey and his introduction of the brand’s first blend. The Boss Hog IX: Siren’s Song Straight Rye Whiskey is a unique spirit in The Boss Hog Odyssey, beginning its journey with the oldest rye whiskey on the farm, boasting a double finish in casks that previously held Greek fig nectar. Siren’s Song is bottled between 102.5 – 106.2 proof and features supple sweetness and exotic spice. This particular edition also showcases a unique cask finish by WhistlePig’s very own Liz Rhoades, head of whiskey development, and Meghan Ireland, head blender.

About WhistlePig
Founded in 2008, WhistlePig is now the most awarded rye whiskey maker in the world. Their remote 500-acre hard-working farm in bucolic Shoreham, Vermont, is the perfect place to perfect their experiments with blending and finishing, ultimately leading to a portfolio of deeply complex rye whiskeys. In 2017 WhistlePig was awarded the coveted “Best In Show Whiskey” title from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Until his passing in 2018 the WhistlePig farm had been home to the founding father of craft whiskey, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell.
Their vision is to respect tradition and embrace progress, protecting what makes rye whiskey great, and at the same time innovating to make it better. After years of devotion to patient aging and innovative blen ding, WhistlePig has turned their attention to experimenting with grain, namely the practice of malting rye. Before industrial catalysts were introduced to increase efficiency, farmer distillers would malt a small portion of their rye harvest in order to access the grain’s starch content and set off the fermentation process.
About Rye
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
