WhistlePig 10 Year Old "K&L Swine Merchants" 112.5 Proof (17.5 Year Old) Barrel #20201 Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey

On rare occasions funny things happen in whiskey warehouses. Barrels are overlooked or just never find the right distillery release to be blended in. Maybe they're too tucked away and never get sampled? It's not clear what happened to this lot of 4 barrels, but word from the distillery is that they were tagged for the 10 year single barrel program ages ago. Like at least 7 long years ago. Somehow we managed to get a sample lineup of four barrels numbered 20200, 20201, 20209, 20212. They were all filled on the same day from the same batch of distillate - February 28th, 2003. They were rolled away and there they sat. It wasn't until October 28th, 2020 that they were pulled out to be bottle exclusively for K&L. Officially labeled as the "10 Year Old Single Barrel" these are distillery confirmed distillation and bottle dates but do not appear on the bottle. These 17.5 year old barrels are the same age as the whiskey currently in the Boss Hog - available for $500!! Instead, check out these 4 barrels for a fraction of the price!
