WhistlePig SmokeStock Wood Fired Whiskey

WhistlePig SmokeStock Wood Fired Whiskey is crafted by WhistlePig Distillery in the picturesque countryside of Shoreham, Vermont. Known for its innovative approach to whiskey making, WhistlePig has partnered with Traeger Grills to create this unique smoked whiskey. This is a SmokeStock Wood Fired, a rye whiskey made from a high rye mash bill. The exact proportions are undisclosed, but it is known for its bold and spice forward profile, which is characteristic of WhistlePig's rye whiskeys. The making process involves a two step smoking process. First, the whiskey is aged in char barrels of American Oak, which does not carry an age statement. Then, it is smoked "slow and low" using Traeger's Apple BBQ wood pellets. Additionally, the water used to prove the whiskey is also smoked, infusing the spirit with rich, smoky flavors and having 43% alcohol by volume (ABV).

WhistlePig SmokeStock Wood Fired Whiskey is best enjoyed alongside hearty, smoky dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with barbecue ribs, smoked brisket, and grilled meats. For a delightful experience, try it neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its smokey, complex flavors. It also makes a fantastic base for smoky cocktails, such as an Old Fashioned with a twist of smoked orange peel.
