WhistlePig Piggyback Rye Review
This 100 percent rye whiskey from Vermont’s WhistlePig distillery was created with the specific intention of premium cocktail creation. So how does it fare? Sweet maple and cinnamon aromas kick off proceedings, and pair majestically with its zesty citrus notes. Aged for at least six years, and bottled at a precise 48.28-percent ABV, the palate is bold and decadent. In short: Yes, this rye will absolutely yield high-quality whiskey cocktails.
