The DIY or “create your own” craze is not new to whiskey world. Weller has done it and now the folks at WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey are following suit with its Reserve Barrel whiskey program.
The Vermont distillery’s first option is the 10 Year Single Barrel, where you get the chance to choose a barrel with a final product of 132 bottles of barrel strength custom whiskey.
For The 12 Year Single Bespoke Blend, you can create your own blend of European cask finish whiskies working with the WhistlePig distillers, pipets and beakers for a bespoke blend of whiskey.
Both programs receive custom labels for the final creations and you can have the opportunity to interact with the Chief Blender Pete Lynch, if you choose to pick their barrel at the WhistlePig Farm in Shoreham.
Prices for the Reserve Barrel will range from $11,000 – $19,000 depending on the marque (ranging from state to state) and fulfillment takes up to 12 weeks.
