WhistlePig PiggyBack Legends Series | Alfa Romeo F1® Team | Single Barrel 2023 Limited Release

Detailed Description
This Single Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing. Inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is finished with lychee and oolong tea. Herbal and floral notes of the oolong tea complement the herbaceous notes of our signature PiggyBack 100% Rye, rounded out with a juicy tropical fruit finish and a touch of spice.
Like Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake’s signature C43 racing vehicles, trial barrels were tested in the team’s wind tunnel in Switzerland before hitting the track. Select barrels then endured varying levels of G-Forces at the WhistlePig farm and distillery for the finishing touch, accelerating the interaction between the whiskey and the wood, staying true to the physical nature of Formula 1.

Distillery Information
WhistlePig began when they purchased their farm in 2007. After a few years of deep consideration and personal reflection, WhistlePig committed themselves to craft the world’s finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, Whistlepig discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused.
