A major thing that separates WhistlePig from the others, is their Boss Hog bottlings. Not a given as an annual occurrence, Dave always said that the only way he would do a ‘Boss Hog’ bottling at WhistlePig was if his “five promises” were kept. The five promises were:
- Single Barrel
- Bottled at Proof
- Powerfully Complex
- Distinctly Unique From Anything We’ve Done Before
- Stupendous in Quality
WhistlePig’s Boss Hog series is now in its twelfth year and has become the most collectible limited edition series in American whiskey – a stunning accomplishment given how many distilleries are trying to build cult followings. The series has won serious hardware over the years, including Best in Show at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, multiple Best of the Best awards from Robb Report, and Best Rye Whiskey at various competitions.
