Single Cask Distillery Bottling

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. True to the spirit of racing, this whiskey underwent a unique aging process, maturing in a barrel infused with the flavors of lychee and oolong tea. 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.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Rich amber with coppery undertones and a warm honey-gold glow.

Nose

Bright lychee leads the nose, its tropical sweetness tempered by the perfumed lift of oolong tea. Floral-tea hints mingle with herbal rye notes, a delicate tea-leaf elegance and a whisper of spice.

Palate

Silky and precise, the palate opens with lychee sweetness under an herbal oolong tea bloom. Rye spice—pepper and ginger—emerges with confident bite, balanced by tropical fruit brightness. A touch of vanilla and oak underpins the texture, delivering a velvety mouthfeel that dries to a refined, lingering finish.

Finish

Elegant and lingering, the finish threads lychee sweetness with delicate oolong tea, leaving a silky rye backbone. Herbal notes mingle with tropical fruit brightness, carried by a gentle spice that resolves into a refined, persistent close.

WhistlePig
WhistlePig began in 2007, when co-founder Wilco Faessen and a small group of partners bought a run-down dairy farm in Shoreham, Vermont. Dave Pickerell, the former Maker’s Mark master distiller, helped shape the whiskey programme, and the distillery officially opened on the 500-acre farm in 2015. The Shoreham site remains central to WhistlePig, with rye growing, distilling, ageing and bottling brought together in one place.
