Tasting Note:
PiggyBack 6 Year is energetic, spicy, and built with cocktails in mind—without sacrificing depth. Aromas of cracked black pepper, citrus peel, and fresh herbs lead into a palate of rye spice, green apple, vanilla, and light caramel. The texture is lively and focused, with enough structure to stand up in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, while still being smooth enough to sip neat. The finish is clean and peppery, with lingering spice and subtle oak.

About the Producer:
WhistlePig is one of the driving forces behind the modern revival of American rye whiskey. Based on a historic farm in Shoreham, Vermont, the brand is known for its rye-first philosophy, long aging, and bold, transparent style. PiggyBack was created as a bartender-focused expression—younger, brighter, and more affordable than the 10 Year—while still delivering unmistakable WhistlePig character.
