WhistlePig 'The BigSheBang' 30 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey Vermont, USA 750ml

The whiskey was produced and matured in Canada. It was finished in Vin Santo casks and bottled by WhistlePig at its distillery in Shoreham, Vermont. The length of the finishing was not disclosed, nor was the original number of barrels, although it is estimated that only 3 or 4 barrels of the original whiskey were used.

The whiskey is very aromatic and slightly spirity on the nose, featuring aromas of fig jam, golden raisins, and candied orange zest, along with dried-fruit notes of stone and tropical fruits, particularly dried apricot, from the Vin Santo influence. There are additional notes of toffee, dark honey, almond brittle/Almond Roca, cocoa, digestive biscuit, Kirsch/maraschino Cherry, seasoned oak, subtle herbal notes, and rancio notes of old leather and wood polish.
