A single-barrel, barrel-strength rye whiskey, double finished in aged rum casks, WhistlePig’s The Boss Hog 8th VIII Edition Lapulapu’s Pacific Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold and brilliant installment of one of the most celebrated rye whiskey silo’s ever produced. A potent and powerful rye inspired by the Philippines, the 8th edition is bottled between 104.8 and 106.6 proof and is beset with a profile that ranges from sweet vanilla, tropical banana, lemon, and molasses, which give way to complex spice, cinnamon, toffee, and butterscotch notes before a finish that swims with leather, brown sugar, black pepper, and allspice. An all-around powerhouse whiskey – for fans of high-rye, this one is a must-have.
