WhistlePig PiggyBack Single Barrel Rye Whiskey – Fallbrook Liquor Selection is a one-of-a-kind expression that highlights both WhistlePig’s craftsmanship and the individuality of a single barrel chosen exclusively for Fallbrook Liquor. WhistlePig, founded in 2007 on a farm in Vermont, has become one of the most respected names in rye whiskey, known for pushing boundaries while staying true to traditional methods. Its PiggyBack line was created as a tribute to legendary master distiller Dave Pickerell, designed to showcase the intensity and versatility of 100% rye aged a minimum of six years.

This private single barrel selection carries all the hallmarks of PiggyBack—bold spice, rich oak, and layered complexity—while offering a flavor profile entirely its own, shaped by the unique aging of that barrel. Bottled at 96.56 proof (48.28% ABV), it balances strength with approachability, giving drinkers a whiskey that has both power and refinement. The nose often reveals cinnamon, caramel, and toasted grain, while the palate leans into rye spice, vanilla, and dark fruit, finished with a long, warming close of oak and pepper.

What sets a selection like this apart is its individuality. No two single barrels are exactly alike, and this Fallbrook Liquor pick reflects both the distillery’s quality standards and the selectors’ palate. It is whiskey for those who want authenticity, strength, and something they won’t find replicated anywhere else.

WhistlePig’s reputation for bold rye and thoughtful innovation is fully embodied in this release. It’s not only a celebration of rye whiskey but also a statement of partnership between producer and retailer, giving enthusiasts a rare bottle that connects heritage with exclusivity.

WhistlePig Whiskey

WhistlePig has built its reputation as a modern rye whiskey powerhouse, rooted in Vermont but inspired by Old World whiskey traditions. Founded in 2007 on a farm in Shoreham, Vermont, the brand set out to elevate rye to new heights, focusing on bold mash bills, innovative barrel finishes, and uncompromising aging standards. WhistlePig is one of the few distilleries to manage nearly every stage of production on its farm—from growing rye to distilling, aging, and bottling—giving it a rare level of control and authenticity.

The PiggyBack Rye line was created as a tribute to Dave Pickerell, WhistlePig’s late master distiller and one of the most influential figures in American whiskey. Made from 100% rye and aged for a minimum of six years, PiggyBack was designed to be both serious and versatile: bold enough for neat sipping, yet structured to shine in cocktails.

Single Barrel selections, like the Fallbrook Liquor Private Pick, showcase WhistlePig’s individuality and depth. Each barrel expresses its own balance of spice, oak, and sweetness, making these private releases highly sought after among enthusiasts. Bottled at higher proof, these single barrels emphasize the full character of the rye grain—delivering intensity, structure, and complexity that goes beyond the standard lineup.

Today, WhistlePig remains one of the most respected names in rye whiskey, known for pushing boundaries while honoring tradition. The PiggyBack Single Barrel series highlights this duality perfectly, offering one-of-a-kind bottlings that reflect both the brand’s craftsmanship and the palate of the selectors who choose them.
