One of the testaments to WhistlePig’s devotion to creating, breaking and rewriting the laws of whiskey, they expanded The Boss Hog’s original five promises with The Commandments:

I. Single Barrel
II. Bottled at Proof
III. Powerfully Complex
IV. Distinctly Unique From Anything We’ve Done Before
V. Stupendous
VI. Fearlessly First Amongst All Whiskeys
VII. Inspired by the Unfamiliar
VIII. Irreverently Inventive
IX. Made for Drinking
X. Knows No Bounds

The first however seasons with their own experimental spirit – distilled from rye and whey, infused with aromatic resins from the genera commonly known as Frankincense and Myrrh.

The second and final finish however is aged in craft mead casks, offering a mellow, round-bodied finish with hints of red berries and freshly crushed black pepper.

The result,  thousands of years’ worth of wonder condensed into a bottle of biblical proportions, righteously rendered at barrel proof.
