WhistlePig "The Boss Hog" Single Barrel Rye Whiskey

Each year, WhistlePig embarks on a bold journey in search of exceptional flavors, pushing boundaries and elevating rye whiskey. This eleventh release, The Boss Hog XI, brings the unparalleled influence of Rajasthan, India – the legendary "Land of Kings" – into the rye whiskey tradition.

Inspired by Thandai, an elixir celebrating victory and strength, WhistlePig’s team has expertly aged Single Barrel Rye in Thandai-seasoned barrels. The result is an evocative fusion of rye’s robust character with a blend of saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and black peppercorn. This unique aging process transforms the whiskey into a majestic and complex profile, a flavor tapestry of bold spice balanced by a soft, tropical sweetness.

Unfiltered, bottled at proof, and crafted for the bold palate, The Boss Hog XI “Juggernaut” captures WhistlePig’s vision of power and grandeur in each sip.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rich Indian spices lead, with hints of rye, clove, and black pepper.
• Palate: Complex layers of overripe orchard fruits, cardamom, saffron, and fennel.
• Finish: A lingering softness of baking spice, sweet undertones, and tropical fruit warmth.
