Inspired by two ancient Mexican beverages revered by the Aztecs, this extraordinary limited release pushes rye whiskey into entirely new territory. The twelfth chapter in WhistlePig's acclaimed Boss Hog series, Feather & Flame begins with single-barrel, barrel-strength straight rye whiskey and undergoes a pioneering finish in barrels seasoned with pulque curado de cacao, bringing together the earthy character of agave, the richness of cacao, and the warmth of traditional Mexican chiles. Each bottle is bottled at proof and topped with the series' signature handmade pewter stopper.

The nose opens with layers of caramel, dark chocolate, and orange zest, leading to a palate where bright citrus is balanced by cocoa, soft oak, and subtle earthy spice. As the whiskey evolves, savory cacao and herbaceous chili notes emerge, creating a profile that is both bold and remarkably harmonious. The finish is long and lingering, showcasing the interplay between rye spice and the distinctive influence of the finishing barrels.

Part collectible and part innovation showcase, WhistlePig The Boss Hog XII: Feather & Flame represents the brand at its most adventurous. Rooted in ancient traditions yet unmistakably modern in execution, it is a singular rye whiskey crafted for enthusiasts seeking one of the most distinctive and ambitious releases in American whiskey today.
