Whistlepig The Boss Hog: The Samurai Scientist

This well aged Straight Rye Whiskey was created using koji fermentation. Each bottle is adorned with The Samurai Scientist – Jōkichi Takamine – who pioneered koji fermentation in the American whisky industry over a century ago. Each bottle barrel is bottled at strength, between 120 – 122 proof. The nose is intensely aromatic, with cinnamon, maple, and toasted marshmallow that develops with time in the glass. The palate has notes of tobacco, ginger, baking spices, and savory umami creating a remarkably rich, nuanced and elegant profile lending to soft, sweet notes that further color the mosaic of flavor.
