Description
At 92 proof as our oldest whiskey, this is the first WhistlePig item completed in Vermont Estate Oak harvested right from our farm. Vermont oak has more rings than the standard oak used in whiskey barrels, and each ring is a chance to endure more flavor and detail in the whiskey. With a score of 97 points from Wine Enthusiast and perfected over 15 years, we are proud to call this a pure expression of Vermont?s best.

Tasting Notes
Color: Chestnut sherry, thin & clear.
Nose: Strong notes of sweet toffee right away, rich and buttery. A slight hint of citrus.
Palate: Warm caramel on the tongue, quickly hits with black pepper, clove and a bit of fresh oak. The oak reveals itself as mild earthiness, like raw almonds, slightly bitter. The spice is light but lasting, giving a good heat and warm finish that leaves your tongue ablaze.
