WhistlePig Farm

WhistlePig Farm is a trailblazer in the world of American whiskey, best known for its dedication to crafting bold, complex rye whiskies on a working farm in Shoreham, Vermont. Founded in 2007 by entrepreneur Raj Peter Bhakta, WhistlePig began with a singular vision: to restore rye whiskey to its former glory as a premium American spirit. What started as an ambitious idea quickly grew into a full-fledged distillery and agricultural operation that emphasizes independence, innovation, and terroir-driven whiskey-making.

WhistlePig made its initial mark by sourcing and aging high-quality Canadian rye, which was then finished and bottled in Vermont. These early releases, such as the highly acclaimed WhistlePig 10 Year, showcased the brand’s knack for bold flavors and expert barrel aging. Over time, the distillery expanded its operations to include estate-grown rye, cultivated, harvested, fermented, distilled, and aged entirely on-site—making it one of the few true grain-to-glass producers in the country. The farm's unique climate and soil conditions lend their own character to the whiskey, adding a layer of terroir rarely found in American spirits.

The WhistlePig portfolio includes a range of expressions—from the approachable PiggyBack Rye to limited editions like the Old World Series and The Boss Hog, known for their creative barrel finishes and high proof. Each release is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often using rare woods and custom casks for aging, such as ex-port, sauternes, and even umeshu barrels.

WhistlePig Farm stands as a symbol of rebellious craftsmanship and pioneering spirit. With its distinctive bottle design, commitment to quality, and a farm-to-bottle ethos, WhistlePig has redefined what rye whiskey can be—earthy, powerful, and refined. It continues to lead the charge in American craft whiskey, offering a bold sip for those who appreciate innovation grounded in tradition.
