TASTING NOTES:
PiggyBack 6 Years Old 100% Rye

Appearance

Dark amber.

Aroma

On the nose, fresh cinnamon and black peppercorn mingle, with a hint of tangerine and grapefruit zest.

Taste

Powerfully spicy on the palate, with cocoa, cardamom and cured leather flavours enhancing the grain-forward character. The finish is wonderfully lengthy with lingering notes of baking spices, oak and vanilla plus hints of citrus throughout.

PiggyBack is a culmination of WhistlePig's late master distiller Dave Pickerell's passion for rye.
 

He set out to create "the best rye whisky for use in the world’s best cocktails" and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the ideal age and bottling strength he was searching for – a rye aged no less than six years, carrying a strength of precisely 96.56 proof.
