Introducing the limited edition WhistlePig PiggyBack Legend Series Whiskey with Lychee and Oolong Tea. This exceptional expression was hand selected by the Alpha Romeo F1 Team, renowned for their pursuit of excellence.

With its single barrel, small batch production, this whiskey embodies the thrill and precision of the racetrack, delivering a truly memorable tasting experience.
This Single Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing. Inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is finished with lychee and oolong tea. Herbal and floral notes of the oolong tea complement the herbaceous notes of our signature PiggyBack 100% Rye, rounded out with a juicy tropical fruit finish and a touch of spice.
