WhistlePig's PiggyBack 6 Year Old Rye Whisky is a bold, rye-forward release from the Vermont distillery. At six years, it delivers pronounced spice with sweet counterpoints of vanilla and caramel, lifted by toasted oak. Rich and full-bodied, it stands up to ice or simple cocktails, finishing with a clean, warming tail.
