Heritage
WhistlePig x Liquid Death Gravestock Wheat Whiskey (750 ml, 86 proof) is a limited-edition collaboration between Vermont-based WhistlePig Whiskey and the irreverent canned water brand Liquid Death. Crafted with WhistlePig’s signature attention to quality and finished with Liquid Death’s bold creative spirit, Gravestock is designed to push boundaries both in flavor and presentation. Bottled at 43% ABV, it stands out as a softer, smoother style of whiskey built on a wheat-forward mashbill, making it approachable while still carrying depth.

On the palate, flavors of caramel, toffee, and warm grain mingle with hints of clove, cinnamon, and a touch of orchard fruit. The wheat base gives it a rounded, silky texture, offering a softer edge compared to rye-dominant whiskeys. The finish is smooth and lingering, with echoes of honey, spice, and toasted grain.

Craftsmanship
WhistlePig is a Vermont-based whiskey producer founded in 2007 with the vision of redefining American rye whiskey. The distillery is located on a 500-acre farm in Shoreham, where it blends tradition with innovation. Early on, WhistlePig gained recognition by sourcing exceptional aged rye from Canada and finishing it in unique casks, creating bold, award-winning whiskeys that quickly caught the attention of enthusiasts.
Over time, WhistlePig transitioned from sourcing to cultivating its own grain, distilling, and aging entirely on the farm. Today, it is known as one of the few true farm-to-bottle whiskey operations in the United States. Rye remains at the heart of the brand, but WhistlePig experiments with other grains, barrel finishes, and collaborations that push the boundaries of what American whiskey can be.
The distillery is also defined by its creative, playful spirit. While it produces highly regarded age-stated ryes and special finishes, WhistlePig also embraces bold partnerships and unconventional releases—such as the Gravestock collaboration with Liquid Death—demonstrating its balance of serious craftsmanship and adventurous branding.
With a philosophy rooted in quality, experimentation, and independence, WhistlePig has become one of the most innovative and respected names in modern American whiskey, combining farm-grown authenticity with a fearless approach to flavor.
