Whistle Pig Farm Rye
Vermont rye, Alberta spine, and a farm that means it.
The story behind Whistle Pig Farm
WhistlePig started in 2007, when Raj Peter Bhakta bought a 500 acre dairy farm in Shoreham, Vermont. Dave Pickerell, late of Maker's Mark, came aboard to build the distillery and shape the house profile. The early barrels were 100 percent rye stock sourced from Alberta, and that high rye spine still sets the tone.
The farm now grows its own rye and harvests Vermont estate oak for custom charred barrels, a triple terroir approach. Chief blender Meghan Ireland layers in Sauternes, Madeira, Port and sherry cask finishes. We have poured these since the first labels landed in Commack.
