WhistlePig The Boss Hog XIII: The Golden Pharaoh is a limited-edition straight rye whiskey from Vermont, crafted as a single barrel expression and bottled at natural cask strength of 51.3% ABV. Aged in new American oak before finishing in casks seasoned with Egyptian Black Honey and tiger nut, it delivers a deep amber pour with aromas of dark honey, toasted oak, rye grain, vanilla, orange peel, and baking spice.
The palate is full-bodied and layered, bringing bold rye spice together with molasses, rich honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and toasted almonds. A long, warming finish leaves dark fruit and charred oak lingering beautifully. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to reveal its intricate character, this rare Vermont rye is equally suited to collectors and serious whiskey enthusiasts.
