Not too long ago I realized that although I’ve written about WhistlePig before I had not written about nor had tasted their 6 year PiggyBack. Not wanting to buy a full bottle, I was happy to find a 50ml bottle for just $5.99. Let me clarify, the actual 750ml PiggyBack is not expensive at a…

WhistlePig Piggyback Barrel Aged Rye Smash
No, your eyes are not deceiving you, with spiked seltzer consumption on the rise, WhistlePig is throwing its name into the spiked ring, and I’m your referee.
