100% PURE VERMONT

At WhistlePig, we strive to produce the finest rye whiskies anywhere; however, for us it is about more than whiskey - it is about supporting and encouraging value-added agricultural industries in our home-state of Vermont. Consequently, we have sought to integrate all aspects of our production into our 1,200 acre farm. For the past four years we have grown and harvested rye for use in our whiskey; last spring we began harvesting oak from our own forests to produce barrels; and in October, we opened our distillery in our 100+ year old hay barn, finally realizing our dream of producing a single-estate rye whiskey.

On top of it all, we produce a Grade A ‘Robust Amber’ maple syrup from 1500 maple trees that line the hillsides around the farm. Aged in our rye barrels for 6 months, the syrup is equal in quality to our whiskies and an excellent compliment in any .

SYRUP PRODUCTION

Vermont is the largest maple syrup producer in the USA. Maples produce a watery sap high in during late winter and spring thaws. When tapped, one tree will produce 10-15 gallons of sap over the 6-8 week “” season. The sap is then boiled down at a “sugar house” to concentrate the sugar and maple flavor. It can take up to 50 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of syrup. Our syrup is aged for 6 months in our used rye whiskey barrels for even more complex flavor.
