WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic Straight Rye Whiskey (17 Year, Single Barrel, Barrel Proof)

WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic Straight Rye Whiskey (17 Year, Single Barrel, Barrel Proof) is the seventh release in WhistlePig’s highly coveted Boss Hog series, each edition crafted to be one-of-a-kind. This expression pays tribute to the journey of Ferdinand Magellan across the Atlantic, embodying a spirit of bold exploration. Distilled from 100% rye and aged for 17 years, it is bottled as a single barrel at full barrel proof, ensuring no two bottles are ever quite the same. Finished in rare Spanish oak and South American teakwood casks, it unites flavors from both sides of the Atlantic in a whiskey of extraordinary depth.

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.
