Small-batch rye whiskey, poured with intention in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains. Join us for a tasting that lingers.
Our Story
WhistlePig began with a single conviction: that exceptional rye whiskey could be made in the Green Mountains, using the same bold spirit that defines this region.
Every bottle that leaves our Waterbury Center tasting room carries forward a tradition of careful grain selection, small-batch distillation, and extended aging in newly charred oak. Our rye-forward profiles — from the bright spice of our 10-Year to the deep complexity of our 18-Year — reflect the terroir of Vermont and the patience of our craft.
Whether you're a longtime enthusiast or discovering rye for the first time, our tasting room is your invitation to slow down, pour a glass, and discover what patient craftsmanship tastes like.

The Whiskeys
10 Year Old
Bright rye spice, vanilla, dried cherry, and a clean, lingering finish. Our flagship expression — bold yet approachable.
12 Year Old
Deeper amber color with notes of toasted oak, caramel, and a whisper of black pepper. A step into more complexity.
18 Year Old
Our most contemplative pour. Dark chocolate, fig, aged leather, and a finish that rewards patience. Pour slowly.
