Boss Hog XII. Feather & Flame. WhistlePig — the 12th annual release in WhistlePig’s most prestigious rye whiskey program, carrying the phoenix theme through a finishing process involving phoenix wood and honeybee-smoked casks that define the Feather & Flame identity.
The Boss Hog series is WhistlePig’s annual flagship — each edition carrying a unique name, finishing regimen, and often a limited collaborative element. Where Boss Hog I through XI explored finishes ranging from armagnac casks (The Black Prince) to Hungarian oak (The Spirit of Mauve) to calvados (Magellan’s Atlantic), Boss Hog XII takes its inspiration from the phoenix mythology — using finishing vessels prepared with phoenix wood and a honeybee-smoking process to add layers of smoky botanical complexity to WhistlePig’s Vermont-aged rye base.
