PiggyBack 6 Year Old Rye is WhistlePig’s answer to bartenders and rye lovers who want intensity, structure, and real age—all at a great value. Distilled from 100% rye grain and aged for six years, this bottle shows why rye’s spicy, citrusy edge is having such a moment.

It opens with notes of black pepper, orange peel, baking spice, and a hint of mint, followed by a dry, clean finish with plenty of bite. At 96.56 proof, it’s got the punch to shine in cocktails—think Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, or even a bold Boulevardier—but it’s still smooth enough to sip neat or with a single cube.

This is rye whiskey made with purpose—bold, flavorful, and designed to deliver whether you’re behind the bar or in your favorite chair.

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.
