About this product
A Legendary Rye Born from Bold Beginnings.
WhistlePig 10 Year Rye stands as the whiskey that launched a rye renaissance. First released in 2015, this expression marked the birth of WhistlePig’s bold venture into ultra-premium rye. Distilled initially in Canada and finished with care at the Vermont farm, it embodies a “Triple Terroir”: grain, water, and wood drawn from specific places to impart nuanced character.
For whiskey lovers in Ireland, the 10 Year Rye is a compelling bridge between familiar European rye warmth and pioneering American craft—smooth, spicy, and steeped in story.
Why we love it:
WhistlePig 10 Year Rye strikes a rare balance between boldness and grace. Its decade-long maturation imbues deep spice, caramel-sweetness, and oak character, while still maintaining the vibrant rye backbone. The brand’s commitment to sourcing aged Canadian rye and finishing it in Vermont delivers a spirit rich in complexity and authenticity. It’s a bottle that commands respect—from the first pour to the final lingering note—and has rightfully earned one of the highest ratings in rye whiskey history
