WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic

Inspired by the first recorded circumnavigation of the globe, The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic is a Straight Rye Whiskey with an uncharted cask journey that stretches across continents. After 17 years in American Oak, it first encounters new Spanish staves from the mountainous forests of northern Spain, then crossing the Atlantic, the whiskey finds its finish in fragrant South American teakwood.

The nose is 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 appear. Spicy cloves and sweet brandied cherries abound on the palate, with baking spices and subtle hints of charred oak, sage, and dark chocolate. The finish is long, with cinnamon, oak spice, and a gentle warmth, all demanding another sip.
