For this release, WhistlePig's team created a small number of proprietary custom Maple Crème Brûlée casks, using the very same barrels previously used to age the distillery's own house maple syrup. Only a handful of barrels of this whiskey were ever produced, making this one of the rarest and most inventive expressions in WhistlePig's entire lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:533;1196-1728\"\u003eBuilt on WhistlePig's 12 year rye whiskey program, distilled from a mashbill of 94% rye and 6% malted barley, this expression keeps the brand's signature bold spice and structure while the Maple Crème Brûlée finish layers in rich toasted sugar, maple cream, vanilla, caramel, baking spice, and warm oak. The result is a rye that leans noticeably sweeter and more dessert-forward than typical WhistlePig releases, while still holding on to the rye backbone that's made the brand a favorite among American whiskey drinkers everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:264;1730-1993\"\u003eWhether you're a longtime WhistlePig collector, a fan of dessert-finished whiskey, or just looking for something genuinely different for a special occasion pour, this Maple Crème Brûlée Cask release delivers an experience unlike anything else in the rye category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"29:1-29:18;1995-2012\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"31:1-31:116;2014-2129\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple syrup, vanilla custard, caramelized sugar, toasted oak, cinnamon, rye spice, and light citrus peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"33:1-33:136;2131-2266\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and smooth, with maple crème brûlée, brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, baking spice, toasted oak, and warm rye character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"35:1-35:116;2268-2383\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and sweet, with lingering maple, torched sugar, vanilla cream, oak spice, and polished rye warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"37:1-37:18;2385-2402\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"39:1-39:265;2404-2668\"\u003eThis dessert-inspired rye pairs beautifully with, unsurprisingly, dessert.
