2020 WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII Magellan’s Atlantic Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml

Description

WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII Magellan’s Atlantic Straight Rye Whiskey, 105.1 Proof (52.55% ABV), is a 2020 single-barrel release bottled at cask strength, varying by individual barrel between 105.1 and 107.8 proof. Sourced from premium stocks in Alberta, Canada, and structurally finished at the WhistlePig Farm Distillery in Shoreham, Vermont. The mash bill consists of 100% rye. Primary maturation spans 17 years in New American oak casks within Canadian climate systems.

The liquid then undergoes an experimental dual finishing process, resting for three weeks in new Spanish oak staves followed by a brief three-day finish in fragrant South American teakwood casks. The nose delivers intense cinnamon sugar, allspice, maple syrup, and toasted wood. On the palate, a medium-bodied, buttery mouthfeel unfolds with heavy baking spices, sweet brandied cherries, licorice, and roasted almonds. The finish is remarkably long, closing on dark chocolate, ground espresso, and lingering wood tannins.
