WhistlePig The Boss Hog X 'The Commandments' Straight Rye Whiskey 105.8 Proof 750ml

USA : VERMONT : SHOREHAM

Straight Rye Whiskey : New American Oak, Resin-Spirit and Mead Cask Finishes

FULL-BODIED, HONEY, RAISIN, BRIGHT CITRUS, BLACK PEPPER

The tenth Boss Hog, released in October 2023, and the edition that turned WhistlePig's original five Boss Hog promises into ten Commandments. Every bottle is a single barrel bottled at proof, so strength runs from 105.3 to 107 proof depending on the cask — this is the 105.8 barrel. No age statement.

Honey leads, courtesy of the mead cask, with a dry, incense-like edge arriving late over rye spice and pepper. Drinkhacker graded it A.

From the producer:
"The Boss Hog X transcends tradition with a double finish inspired by our own land of milk and honey. Each barrel of Straight Rye Whiskey is aged in new American Oak before completing its journey in two unorthodox finishing barrels. The first is seasoned with our own experimental spirit – distilled from rye and whey, infused with aromatic resins from the genera commonly known as Frankincense and Myrrh – delivering notes of creme brulee, lemongrass and rosemary to the final whiskey. The second and final finish is aged in craft mead casks, offering a mellow, round-bodied finish with hints of red berries and freshly crushed black pepper."
