WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII - Magellan's Atlantic Straight Rye Whiskey 17 Year Old
Out of stock
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.
First it encounters new Spanish staves from the mountainous forests of northern Spain; a cask nearly impossible to tame yet well worth the effort. The rare oak imparts notes of cinnamon and allspice, dry yet rich and refined. A beautiful base, to be sure. But the allure of continued discovery beckoned us onward. Crossing the Atlantic the liquid finds its finish in fragrant South American teakwood. With it, an added layer of spice and sophistication, resulting in a Rye that unfurls caraway and caramel in interlacing threads.
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.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with rich mahogany edges and a warm honey-gold core, a luxurious caramel glow.
Nose
Aromas of cinnamon and allspice from rare Spanish oak rise over a dry, richly refined base, while a South American teakwood influence threads spice through caramel and caraway, yielding a poised, multi-layered bouquet that hints at immense depth.
Palate
Caraway and caramel weave through a dry yet rich, refined body. Cinnamon and allspice from the Spanish oak impart poised spice, while a teakwood finish adds warmth and depth. The texture is velvety and dense, with a long, persistent finish that carries layered spice and a final, elegant warmth.
Finish
Long, elegant and spice-forward, the finish opens with cinnamon and allspice, threads in caraway and caramel, and rests on warm teakwood notes that linger with refined, dry resonance.
