PiggyBack 6 Year Bourbon is WhistlePig’s first bourbon, and they’ve approached it the same way they do their ryes—with flavor, structure, and a high-rye mash bill that brings extra zip. This bourbon is aged 6 years and bottled at 100 proof, delivering a rich, spiced profile that stands up in cocktails but also works neat for bourbon fans who like a little more bite.

Flavor-wise, it brings a bold mix of caramel, baking spice, charred oak, orange peel, and toasted grain, with that high rye content giving it a slightly dry, peppery finish. It’s not a sweet-smooth bourbon—it’s vibrant, structured, and designed to appeal to fans of rye or anyone who wants a bourbon with backbone.

Whether you're upgrading your Old Fashioned or looking for a whiskey that balances richness with edge, WhistlePig PiggyBack Bourbon delivers a confident, full-throttle take on a familiar style.

More about Whistlepig

WhistlePig is one of the brands behind the modern rye revival. Its first release, launched in 2010, was a 10-year-old, 100 percent rye whiskey bottled at 100 proof, when big, bold rye was still hard to find.

The company is based on a former dairy farm in Shoreham, Vermont, founded by Raj Bhakta. The late master distiller Dave Pickerell sourced that first aged rye from Canada and designed WhistlePig's pot still. Distilling on the farm began in 2015, and WhistlePig now grows its own rye and has used Vermont white oak for some of its barrels, although much of the aged whiskey in the range is still sourced.

The lineup runs from PiggyBack, a 6-year-old rye (and a bourbon sibling) built for cocktails, through the 10 Year, to the 12 Year 'Old World', which is finished in wine casks. The 10 Year is still the benchmark: strong enough for a Manhattan and rich enough to drink neat.
