WhistlePig Farmstock Rye Whiskey

WhistlePig FarmStock Rye Whiskey: The Evolving Spirit of the Vermont Farm

Experience the pioneering spirit of farm-to-bottle whiskey with WhistlePig FarmStock Rye Whiskey. This unique and ever-evolving expression represents WhistlePig's commitment to crafting exceptional rye entirely on its sprawling 500-acre farm in Shoreham, Vermont. FarmStock is a testament to the brand's journey towards full vertical integration, blending their own nascent, flavorful distillate with meticulously selected older ryes to create a whiskey that is both vibrant and mature.

FarmStock is conceived as a dynamic blend that showcases the progression of WhistlePig's estate-grown and distilled rye. Each "Batch" (or Chapter, as they sometimes refer to them) of FarmStock has a unique composition, typically featuring:

• A significant and increasing proportion of WhistlePig's own Vermont-distilled rye whiskey, made from 100% rye grown on their farm. This whiskey is often quite young (e.g., 2-3 years old), contributing freshness and grain character.
• Older, sourced Canadian rye whiskey (similar to what is found in their 10 and 12-year expressions), which provides depth, complexity, and maturity gained from years in oak.
• A third component, occasionally sourced Indiana rye whiskey, further adding layers to the blend.

The blend is then aged and bottled on the WhistlePig Farm, allowing for meticulous control over the final product. While the exact aging duration for the entire blend varies by batch, the integration of younger, estate-produced rye with older sourced stock is key to its distinctive profile. Bottled at a versatile 43% ABV (86 Proof), FarmStock is designed to be approachable yet flavorful, showcasing the future of WhistlePig's whiskey.
