WhistlePig The Boss Hog VIII"Lapulapu's Pacific" Straight Rye Whiskey
$ 699
An epic sequel to the World’s Best Rye, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu’s Pacific completes our journey around the world, unfurling a chronicle as rich and bold as the whiskey itself.
Upon crossing the Pacific, Captain Magellan met his fate at the hands of the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu. A fierce and vociferous defender of independence, LapuLapu led his island home against the Spaniards. There he forged a successful fortification, staving off colonial occupation for more than forty years.
In honor of our new hero, this rare edition sees a double finish in high toast, small batch, single island Philippine Rum casks, adding layers of warm spice and delicate tropical notes to an already deeply complex, well aged Rye Whiskey. LapuLapu’s Pacific is a profound statement of strength and independence, a spectacular sequel to Magellan’s Atlantic.
This rare and outstandingly complex whiskey is barrel strength, bottled between 104.8 and 106.6 proof.
NOSE: Rich lush vanilla aromas give way to delicate tropical notes including underripe bananas, freshly picked lemon and molasses
PALATE: Abundant fresh ground cinnamon with citrus zest, butterscotch, and light notes of toffee
FINISH: Tanned leather, light brown sugar, nutmeg and allspice with a long-lasting black pepper rye spice
