WhistlePig 12 Year Old Old World Rye Whiskey 750ml

Tasting Notes

Opens with caramel, vanilla, and rich dried fruit aromas. The palate is layered with rye spice, honey, and stone fruits like apricot and plum, followed by raisins and dates. The wine casks add sweetness and depth, softening the spice. The finish is long and warming, with notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and lingering fruit.
