WhistlePig Boss Hog XII Feather & Flame Rye Whiskey 108.4 Proof 750mL

WhistlePig Boss Hog XII: Feather & Flame Straight Rye Whiskey (750 mL) is the twelfth ultra-premium release in WhistlePig’s legendary Boss Hog series. This limited-edition rye is finished in pulque curado de cacao barrels, a novel finishing process that infuses rich cacao, earthy sweetness, and a hint of agave tradition into high-proof rye. Bottled at 104.8 proof (≈52.4% ABV) and hand-bottled on the WhistlePig farm in Vermont, each bottle comes from a single numbered barrel, making it a collector’s gem as well as a showcase of experimental cask finishing craftsmanship.

Perfect for rye lovers, bottle collectors, and those seeking bold flavor profiles, Feather & Flame marries spice, chocolate, and oak in a dramatic, indulgent spirit experience.

Dark chocolate and roasted cocoa nibs, warm spices (rye spice, clove), caramelized oak, subtle herbal or nutty sweetness, and hints of candied citrus

Palate (Taste): Bold rye heat up front; layers of sweet cacao, honey, caramel; undertones of leather, toasted nuts, dried fruit, and a touch of agave nectar
