Bottling Note Named after the skills passed down over the generations, this permanent addition to the range is matured in a combination of casks including first fill Sherry butts and quarter casks and is said to contain some of their "most precious stock".

Distilled with 100% rye, WhistlePig 10 Year is aged for a decade and bottled at 100 proof. With a golden hay complexion, the spirit has initial notes of rich butterscotch, honey, toffee, orange rind, peppermint, allspice, clove and anise on the nose, joined by some charred oak which imparts sweet vanilla aromas. On the palate, initial sweet notes of vanilla and toffee are joined with the rye’s bold spiciness, complemented by savours of baking spices such as nutmeg, clove and allspice. Elsewhere, spearmint prevails on the palate alongside notes of burnt orange, dark chocolate and a lingering spiciness that continues on the smooth, lingering finish and dominates the whiskey’s full-on flavour profile.

Woodford Reserve launched Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition, a limited-edition of what it calls the “ultimate expression of American Whiskey.” Featuring Woodford Reserve Bourbon that aged an additional three years in XO cognac casks from France, the whiskey is a balance of crisp American and French oak notes, complex fruit character, subtle spiciness, and a creamy confectionary finish, it says. Packaged in a handmade crystal decanter that took five days to create in Baccarat, France, the bottle design was meant to evoke the iconic Woodford Reserve bottle silhouette, and is engraved in gold.
