Some lucky connoisseurs and lovers of fine whiskeys have the previous Boss Hog editions sitting on their shelves at home and try them out with a pipette on special occasions, because these products are always amazing. As the numerical name suggests, Whistle Pig The Boss Hog VII Magellan's Atlantic Straight Rye Whisky is first and foremost an incredible, high-quality single barrel rye whiskey that has been matured for seventeen years.
But then the masters of pioneering rye whiskey brand Whistle Pig put the finishing touches on the rye whiskey, which has been matured for many years, by filling it into a special barrel made of Spanish oak from mountain forests in northern Spain (Cantabria) and sending it for 3 weeks on the long journey across the Atlantic in the footsteps of Magellan for further maturation. The whiskey was then allowed to mature one more time in fragrant South American Teakwood casks sustainably sourced from Brazil, until it was bottled and this is the first version of The Boss Hog to finish in more than one cask.
On the nose, Magellan's Atlantic presents cinnamon sugar, allspice and maple. With time, toasted wood notes arise alongside creamy vanilla, roasted almonds and a touch of ground espresso. Spicy cloves and sweet brandied cherries are also present, with lots of baking spices, plus hints of charred oak, sage and dark chocolate. On the finish is cinnamon, oak spice and a gentle warmth.
The Boss Hog VII Magellan's Atlantic comes in a gift box documenting the quest, and crowned with a collectible pewter topper depicting Magellan as a pig in traditional Spanish dress, taking up his sail with an explorer's staff at the outset of his journey. Collectors are invited to join the expedition by registering their bottle at TheBossHogVII.com. Using the unique code found on the bottle's neck label, collectors can access exclusive content.
