The WhistlePig distillery was founded by Dave Pickerell in Vermont in 2008. Independent, unbound by tradition, and a world apart from other American whiskeys, WhistlePig pushes the boundaries of Rye.
Miles from civilization and distraction, The WhistlePig Farm is a rugged and fertile ground for whiskey exploration, surrounded by 500 acres of Rye and experimental crop fields, Vermont Oak trees, fresh well water, a maple sugar bush, and the scenic views of the Green Mountains. Always brimming with new ideas, the WhistlePig team focuses on audacious experimentation, big age statements and bold experiments.
