WhistlePig Double Malt 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey 5th Edition is the oldest whiskey WhistlePig releases and the fifth annual edition of its flagship 18 Year, bottled at 92 proof with a custom glass stopper handcrafted in Vermont. The Double Malt name refers to the mash bill: 91% rye for bold, peppery spice and 9% malted barley for a gentle, floral, earthy note, a tribute to the early American farmers who malted part of their grain to kick off fermentation.
For the 5th Edition, WhistlePig gave the 18-year-old rye a double-barrel maturation, finishing it in American oak and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. PX is the sweetest, darkest style of sherry, and it layers raisin, fig, dark chocolate and molasses over the deep oak, leather and baking spice that eighteen years bring, for a whiskey WhistlePig describes as rich with warm, sweet notes and an enduring finish. Each year’s 18 Year edition gets a different finishing treatment, so the 5th Edition is a distinct and limited bottling. It sits at the very top of the WhistlePig range and makes an unforgettable gift for a rye devotee.
