Vermont-based WhistlePig is one of the most exciting rye whiskey producers. Since it officially opened in 2015, the zero-generation farm has led the rye revival and pioneered the conversation about terroir in spirits.
About WhistlePig
Entrepreneur Raj Bhakta purchased the 500-acre renovated dairy farm in Shoreham, Vermont in 2007. He then teamed up with industry legend and founding father of the US craft whiskey movement Dave Pickerell and started bottling rye in 2015. Pickerell had previously worked as Master Distiller at Maker’s Mark for 14 years, increasing sales from 175,000 to 1 million cases.
