WhistlePig, the Vermont farm distillery that built its reputation on rye, goes deep into the warehouse for The Badonkadonk — a 25-year-old small batch malt whiskey drawn from pot still stock. A quarter century in oak puts this release among the oldest whiskeys ever to carry the WhistlePig name, bottled in limited small-batch quantities for the collectors who chase the far end of the age spectrum.
Twenty-five years of maturation show in every layer: deep malt sweetness folds into toffee, dried fig, and dark chocolate, while decades of oak bring leather, toasted spice, and baked orchard fruit. The pot still character keeps the texture rich and rounded, carrying the whiskey to a long, slowly fading finish of cocoa and old wood.
Ultra-aged malt whiskey at this age statement rarely surfaces, and rarely lingers — this is a trophy pour for milestone occasions and a serious centerpiece for any whiskey collection or once-in-a-lifetime gift. Shelve it alongside other WhistlePig expressions and the rare whiskeys in the Liquor Geeks collection. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
A quarter century in oak is rare territory for any malt whiskey, and rarer still for a label best known for rye. WhistlePig, the Vermont farm distillery, drew this 25-year-old small batch malt from pot still stock, and the age shows in every layer. Dried fig, dark honey and rich malted barley lead on the nose, then toffee, dark chocolate and baked orchard fruit arrive on a rounded pot still weight. The finish is very long, trailing cocoa, old oak and a whisper of tobacco. Bottled at 91 proof, it carries real depth while staying comfortable to sip neat. This is not a first bottle of the style. It suits the collector who chases the far end of the age spectrum, or anyone marking a milestone that deserves a serious pour. We carry it because ultra-aged malt whiskey at this age statement rarely surfaces, and because it shows a side of WhistlePig that most drinkers never get to taste. Pour it slowly and give it time in the glass.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — Its bittersweet cocoa mirrors the dark chocolate on the palate and the lingering cocoa in the long finish.
- Aged Gouda — The cheese's nutty, caramel-like crystals echo the whiskey's toffee and deep malt sweetness.
- Milestone anniversary toast — A 25-year-old whiskey with a slow, warming finish of old oak and tobacco suits an occasion that marks decades.

What is the best way to drink it?
Neat in a tulip-shaped glass, left to open for about ten minutes, is the recommended pour. A few drops of spring water bring the dried fruit and malt sweetness forward. If you prefer it chilled, use a single large cube to slow dilution and protect the finish.
