New Release – The Boss Hog VII – Whistle Pig at Hard To Find Whisky – American Whiskey News

 

The Boss Hog VII – Magellan’s Atlantic

Following in the footsteps of The Boss Hogs before it, the seventh edition in this collectible series is distinctly different than anything else in American Whiskey. A Straight Rye Whiskey Aged 17 Years and finished in two uncommon casks, this limited release is inspired by the first recorded circumnavigation of the globe.

Single barrel, bottled at proof, and powerfully complex, The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic offers an incredible journey of aromas and flavour. Displayed in a bespoke gift box and each bottle crowned with a bespoke pewter stopper, designed and made by Danforth Pewter 11 miles from the WhistlePig Farm.

£599.95

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Intensely aromatic, with cinnamon sugar, allspice, and maple. With time, toasted wood notes arise alongside creamy vanilla, roasted almonds, and a touch of ground espresso.

Palate: Spicy cloves and sweet brandied cherries abound, with baking spices rampant. A closer look reveals subtle hints of charred oak, sage, and dark chocolate.

Finish: Everlasting; gobs of cinnamon, oak spice, and a gentle warmth demand another sip.

Whisky Reading For The Holidays – Whisky News

Whisky Reading For The Holidays

This holiday season, surprise your spirits loving family and friends with the incredible un-told stories of the exciting and cutting-edge distilleries that are re-shaping Canada’s spirits industry. The Definitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries is a beautiful, thoroughly researched and thoughtfully presented homage to the hard-working people who have infused new life into Canada’s whisky and spirits movement.

Join authors Davin de Kergommeaux and Blair Phillips in discovering more than 200 Canadian distilleries, nearly 100 of them making whisky. You and your whisky loving friends will soon be making plans to visit – or armchair visit – all of them. Maps, tips and suggestions of where to go next are just the start of this comprehensive, tasting, travel and cocktail guide.

The Definitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries pairs well with de Kergommeaux’s earlier book Canadian Whisky: The New Portable Expert. Here he digs deep into the stories and histories of Canada’s top whisky makers, their people, products and distilleries. This highly popular whisky book is now in its second edition and ready for gift-giving or gift-getting.

As New York Times journalist and bestselling whisky author, Clay Risen puts it, “To call Davin de Kergommeaux the soul of Canadian whisky is an understatement—he is its guide, its historian, and its leading advocate. Now comes The Definitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries, with Blair Phillips, as astounding in its breadth of coverage as its depth of insight. Make room in your library, spirits fans: these are must-own books.”

Make your whisky lover’s day with one or both of these carefully researched and beautiful books. Available in major and most independent bookstores, and all online booksellers.

Glenallachie Distillery is a Speyside distillery sitting on the eastern edge of Ben Rinnes mountain where it is rather exposed to the elements and is often to be see sitting within the snowline. A modern building and its architect William Delmé-Evans created a distillery which is rather pleasing on the eye. Glenallachie was commissioned in 1967 with two stills which increased to four in 1989 in order to meet blenders ever increasing demand for Glenallachie malt whisky. Whilst official releases are few independent releases are more numerous with those from Signatory Vintage and Cadenheads proving popular.
