Elevate your collection with the WhistlePig 12 Year Single Barrel Maple Crème Brûlée Finish Limited Edition. This incredibly rare bespoke whiskey takes WhistlePig's classic 12-year-old high-rye mashbill—consisting of 94% rye and 6% malted barley—and finishes it in custom proprietary Maple Brûlée casks that previously held maple syrup. Bottled at an approachable 86 proof (43% ABV), this expression dials back the traditional heavy rye spice to deliver a beautifully sweet, dessert-like profile that perfectly balances bold grain character with rich, caramelized complexity.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and inviting aromas of maple syrup, bananas foster, toasted brown sugar, and warm cinnamon.
Palate: Highly approachable and sweet, leading with graham cracker and toasted sugar before transitioning into rich crème brûlée, banana pudding, and light fruit notes.
Finish: A medium-length finish that leaves lingering notes of icing sugar, burnt maple, and a healthy balance of classic rye spice.
