"Patience has always been a defining trait in whiskey-making, but aging a Single Malt for 30 years is nearly unheard of in North America. The BigShǝBàng spent three decades resting in American Oak, slowly developing its structure and depth. That alone would make it remarkable, but WhistlePig didn't stop there. For its finishing touch, the whiskey was transferred into Vin Santo barrels - an Italian dessert wine cask known for labor-intensive methods and low yields."
"WhistlePig is calling this release a "flavor supernova," and the tasting notes back it up. On the nose, expect warm honeyed bread, wheat crust, and a whisper of florals. The palate opens with clove, freshly kneaded dough, and honeysuckle, before building toward a crescendo of toasted cedar and delicate lingering sweetness. Bottled at 90.4 proof, it strikes a balance between intensity and elegance, delivering a profile that feels expansive without ever tipping into excess."
WhistlePig released The BigShǝBàng, a 30-year-old Single Malt produced from only four barrels, making it the brand's oldest and rarest expression. The whiskey matured for three decades in American oak before being finished in Vin Santo barrels, an Italian dessert wine cask that imparts velvety sweetness and layered complexity. Tasting notes include warm honeyed bread, wheat crust, florals, clove, freshly kneaded dough, honeysuckle, toasted cedar, and delicate lingering sweetness. Bottled at 90.4 proof, the whiskey balances intensity with elegance and targets collectors and connoisseurs seeking extraordinary whiskey.
