WhistlePig The Boss Hog X The Commandments Straight Rye 750 ml

Tenth in the Boss Hog line, WhistlePig's The Boss Hog X: The Commandments is a single-barrel straight rye bottled at barrel strength, so proof varies bottle to bottle. The rye starts in new American oak, then takes a double finish nobody else has tried: first in experimental spirit barrels infused with frankincense and myrrh, then in craft mead casks. The result reads as honey, roasted cashew and fresh ginger on the nose, dried honey, raisin and bright citrus on the palate, sapwood and fresh-ground pepper through the finish. Boss Hog releases are genuinely limited and move quickly when they land. Pour it neat for the rye devotee who thinks they have tasted everything.
