Whistle Pig The Boss Hogg VIII Lapulapu's Pacific

ABV 52.4%

TASTE
There's an abundance of fresh cinnamon with citrus zest, butterscotch and light toffee notes. The finish is long-lasting with hints of tanned leather, brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice and black pepper rye.

AROMA
Lush vanilla aromas give way to delicate topical notes of underripe bananas, freshly picked lemon and molasses.

This latest release in WhistlePig's much-anticipated Boss Hog series is a seriously collectible edition. Distinctly unique, it's a deeply complex rye whisky, expertly aged for nearly 18 years in new American oak, followed by a double finish in high-toast barrels that previously held small-batch, single-island aged Philippine rum.

It is inspired by the strong, independent spirit of the great Filipino warrior LapuLapu, who successfully defended his island home against Spanish colonialism in 1521 – you'll find his pewter likeness standing atop each bottle.
