WhistlePig started out as a whiskey bottler, sourcing a large parcel of stock of 10-year-old Canadian rye whiskey in 2009 and experimenting with a variety of different cask types in which to double-mature it. The company’s first bottling of this 10-year-old rye whiskey was finished in ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks and was an immediate hit, earning a record 96-point score for a rye whiskey from Wine Enthusiast.

Further finishing experiments soon followed, as WhistlePig embraced an adventurous wood policy, with unusual wine casks from Rivesaltes, Madeira and Sauternes all featuring in subsequent releases. The success of these whiskeys enabled the company to build their own distillery in Vermont in 2015, and in 2021 the company launched the first 100% WhistlePig distillery bourbon and rye whiskeys alongside their range of sourced whiskeys.
