Drawn from WhistlePig's 12-year rye program, this Bespoke Barrel release is a custom single-cask expression finished in a maple crème brûlée cask. Aged 12 years and bottled at 86 proof, it keeps WhistlePig's signature rye spice and structure while the finish layers in toasted sugar, maple cream, vanilla custard, caramel, and warm oak — a dessert-forward profile that still holds its bold rye backbone.
