WhistlePig "Beholden" 21 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey
The first adventure into the world of American single malts for this distinguished distiller, the WhistlePig Farm Beholden 21 year old Single Malt Whiskey is a wonderfully crafted dram offering a vastly more mature and refined approach compared to what many other producers have been doing in the single malt market. Bottled at 92-proof, WhistlePig Beholden is the first edition of WhistlePig's super-aged whiskeys and was introduced in March of 2023. Crafted from a selection of just 18 American oak ex-bourbon barrels and aged for a minimum of 21 years, WhistlePig Beholden is then finished for 4 weeks in the distillery's singular rye barrels - imparting a distinctive and discernible profile. Expect a nose of rich layers over stone fruits, oak, and spice complementing a palate of baked sugar, maple, and traces of newly cut grass clippings.
