This is the second “The Boss Hog” released by WhistlePig, the first was in 2013. According to the company, this year’s release has been selected from their oldest and most unique barrels - Bond 77. Bond 77 entered wood on April 5, 2001 and was part of a quadruple barrel aging process, including a combination of new American oak and early use bourbon barrels. This is a single barrel offering comprised of 50 barrels which were hand-selected and bottled at cask strength ranging from 117 - 124 proof. The bottle reviewed is from barrel #38, has a handwritten 13 year age statement, and was bottled at 119.5 proof.

Nose
Bright and lively. It’s definitely got rye spice on the nose, but less alcohol intensity than the proof would suggest. There’s a hint of anise along with tobacco.

Palate
Very tasty. Full-bodied with a good mouthfeel. A warming rye pop hits immediately followed by a sweet and spicy kick. It’s bright and bold with elements of vanilla and oak underneath. I

Finish
Unlike the standard WhistlePig, there isn’t an intense rye pop in the finish. A hint of burnt brown sugar dances in the background, contrasting the rye spice.The flavors from the sip dissipate fairly evenly resulting in a balanced, medium-length finish. Overall it’s a nice finish to a fairly balanced and refined sip.
