Tasting Notes

WhistlePig PiggyBank 10 Year Rye is a limited edition of WhistlePig’s classic 10 Year Straight Rye, bottled at 110 proof and presented in the brand’s signature pig-shaped decanter. The nose opens with bold aromas of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak layered with baking spice, citrus peel, and dark fruit. On the palate, it is rich and powerful, offering flavors of toffee, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg balanced by notes of honey, orange zest, and roasted nuts. The higher proof amplifies both the rye spice and sweetness, delivering a full-bodied and warming mouthfeel. The finish is long and assertive, leaving lingering notes of caramel, oak, and peppery spice.
