Join us for a guided rye tasting featuring WhistlePig, a Vermont farm distiller known for bold rye and long aging. You will taste four pours, compare proof and age statements, and learn how barrel choices shape aroma, body, and finish.

WhistlePig began in 2007 when founder Raj Bhakta bought a Vermont farm with the goal of reviving American rye whiskey, working with Master Distiller Dave Pickerell. Over time, the brand grew from early sourced rye into a farm-to-bottle approach, including its “Triple Terroir” focus on grain, water, and oak.
