WhistlePig Piggy Back Single Barrel Alfa Romeo 750mL

Finished with lychee and oolong tea, the whiskey takes on an extremely fruity and floral aroma and taste, marked by juicy notes of tropical fruit that are balanced by the herbal astringency of the oolong tea. The initial pop of lychee is also mellowed on the finish by the base notes of WhistlePig’s rye, with notes of vanilla, black pepper, raisin, and orange peel. While most “flavored” whiskies tend to skew a bit artificial and intense, we were pleasantly surprised by the unique flavor of this expression. Smooth on the palate and great for sipping neat, it could work equally well in a fruit-forward whiskey cocktail.
