Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is the thirteenth edition of WhistlePig's annual Boss Hog series, a limited-edition straight rye bottled at barrel strength, 54.2% ABV or 108.4 proof. The Golden Pharaoh takes its theme from ancient Egypt and pairs bold rye character with what WhistlePig calls an intricate finishing process, drawn from carefully selected barrels. The nose opens with caramel, honey, orange peel, toasted oak and warm baking spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with butterscotch, rye spice, vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted nuts and a subtle herbal edge. The finish runs long with oak, sweet caramel, cracked pepper and cocoa. This is a sipping whiskey first, best suited to drinkers who already love rye and to collectors following the Boss Hog line year to year, rather than a first bottle of the style. The collector's bottle and pewter stopper make it a natural centerpiece. We carry it because it shows rye at its most layered and celebratory.
Pairs well with
- Premium dark chocolate — The dark chocolate and cocoa running through the palate and finish echo the bar, while the rye spice cuts its richness.
- Smoked meats — Cracked pepper, toasted oak and caramel sweetness stand up to smoke and char without getting lost.
- Milestone celebration toast — A limited Boss Hog edition with a long, caramel-and-spice finish is made for marking a moment worth remembering.
