About WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic
WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic is a nod to the spirit of the discovery of the Portuguese explorer. This unique single-barrel expression is a 17-year-old rye whiskey that has had two consecutive rounds of finishing after its period of aging in American oak.
First are the rare oak staves from northern Spain which bring notes of cinnamon and allspice to the table. Then there’s South American teakwood which adds another layer of spice and caramel, resulting in a complex, unique, and powerful rye whiskey that is bottled at barrel strength.

Tasting Notes
The nose is intense and sweet with cinnamon, allspice, maple, toasted oak, vanilla, roasted almonds, and coffee. There’s spice on the palate in the form of cloves and baking spices, along with a fruity cherry sweetness, charred oak, and dark chocolate. The lengthy and slightly warm finish has lingering cinnamon and oak spice notes.
