Overview

• Billed as WhistlePig’s oldest and most expensive bottling, the 90.4-proof North American single malt comes from under four barrels and is bottled as single-barrel expressions.
• The whiskey spent 30 years in American oak before a Vin Santo finish that the brand says it pursued specifically for added complexity.
• Sales are restricted to a handful of physical retailers with no online availability, and pours are slated at the WhistlePig Vault in Louisville opening this fall.
• The release continues a series of ultra-aged single malts following The Béhôlden (21 years, about $900) and The Badönkådonk (25 years, about $2,000).
• Early tasting notes highlight bready and nutty aromas with savory and floral nuances, and the base distillery remains undisclosed, with reporter speculation about a Canadian source unconfirmed.
