WhistlePig Farm, Shoreham, Vermont — a single barrel of WhistlePig 10 Year 100% straight rye hand-selected in collaboration with the San Diego Barrel Boys, a dedicated whiskey enthusiast group from San Diego who partnered with WhistlePig to choose this specific cask from WhistlePig's aging inventory, delivering high-toned spices and earthy herbal tones with a bold palate of maple syrup, Boston cream pie, and a lingering cinnamon-dusted cheesecake finish — limited to 130 bottles.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe San Diego Barrel Boys private barrel program represents one of the most direct connections between a local whiskey community and a nationally recognized distillery. The group traveled to WhistlePig's Vermont facility, evaluated individual barrels from the 10-year aging inventory, and selected this specific cask based on its distinctive profile. Only 130 bottles of this exact barrel were produced — a genuine micro-allocation that cannot be replicated once sold out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes this selection from standard WhistlePig 10 Year is the specific barrel character the San Diego Barrel Boys identified: high-toned spices and earthy herbal tones on the nose, a palate that reaches into dessert territory — maple syrup, Boston cream pie, lingering cinnamon-dusted cheesecake — without losing the rye's structural integrity. These are barrel-specific flavor compounds that the standard blended 10 Year averages out. In a single barrel, they stand alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-toned spices and earthy herbal tones — the single barrel's specific character asserting itself beyond the standard 10 Year's more rounded aromatic profile.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold with maple syrup, Boston cream pie, and a hint of lingering cinnamon-dusted cheesecake.
