WhistlePig 11 Year Rye Whiskey

The bigger, bolder, and older companion to ‘100/100’, TripleOne was our first limited edition special release. It was also selected as one of the best whiskies in the world for 2013. Aged 11 years and bottled at 111 proof, it is a powerful spirit available in extremely limited quantities—only 1100 cases hit the market. Now out of production, TripleOne has become a sought-after collector’s item. Tasted neat, TripleOne unleashes waves of spice upon entry, with ginger backed by intense wood notes. Add a few drops of water, and the spiciness takes a half-step back, giving way to a very surprising, and forward, note of Calvados. With a few more drops of water, leather and burnt orange emerge, with dark chocolate developing late. The finish is long and clean, with gobs of caramel, butterscotch, and vanilla.
