A major thing that separates WhistlePig from the others, is their Boss Hog bottlings. Not a given as an annual occurrence, Dave always said that the only way he would do a ‘Boss Hog’ bottling at WhistlePig was if his “five promises” were kept. The five promises were:
- Single Barrel
- Bottled at Proof
- Powerfully Complex
- Distinctly Unique From Anything We’ve Done Before
- Stupendous in Quality
Last year, they actually put down 10 requirements they called their 10 commandments. The last one was that the ‘Whiskey knows no bounds’. I’m sure that was true of last year’s release too but that seems like it’s a rule that was made for this incredible globe trotting release. Knowing no bounds is traveling to the world’s largest spice market in India to secure the ingredients for this extraordinary first of its kind bottling.
