WhistlePig Old World 12 Year Old

Taking inspiration from the best techniques of the ‘Old World’ – and in particular Scotch whiskies – Master Distiller Dave Pickerell began to experiment with 12-year-old rye whiskey and premium European oak casks including Madeira, Sauternes, Port, Cognac and Sherry. Old World 12 Year Old is the result of a careful marriage of three finishes: 63% Madeira, 30% Sauternes and 7% Port.There’s soft vanilla, caramel and apple cider on the nose. The palate is smooth and buttery with raisin and molasses from the Madeira wood, juicy nectarines from the Sauternes casks, and flashes of grilled cherry from the Port pipes. The finish is long lasting with lingering spice notes.
