Whistlepig, Piggy Back, 6 Year, Rye93 Points Wine Enthusiast: A honey hue and rich vanilla aroma mark this six year old rye whiskey. The palate nods to its 100% rye grain mash bill, opening with brisk cinnamon and allspice sparks that round into mellower vanilla and caramel midpalate, finishing long and spiced. Adding water brings more vanilla to the fore and adds a toasted grain note to the finish.
