WhistlePig Declaration Double American Oak Aged, 43%

Released in celebration of America’s 250th birthday, this is bright and sweet on the nose with vanilla, butter cake, and floral honey. The sip introduces cut wood and dried grains, with apple fritters, marzipan, and a hint of earthy cigar leaf. With time, it turns spicy, with cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, and pepper providing contrast to the sweeter flavors. The finish is short but balanced with vanilla and honey tempered by oak and black pepper.
