WhistlePig The Boss Hog XIII: The Golden Pharaoh is the thirteenth in the brand's annual Boss Hog series of single barrel straight rye whiskey, inspired by Ancient Egypt. It is bottled at barrel strength in a 750ml bottle, at roughly 102.6 to 105.6 proof depending on the barrel.
The rye matured in new American oak before a finish in barrels seasoned with Egyptian black honey, which here means sugarcane molasses rather than bee honey, and tiger nuts. The idea comes from a tiger-nut cake recipe more than 3,000 years old, shown on an Egyptian tomb wall and recreated at the WhistlePig Farm in Vermont.
The nose is brown sugar, toasted almonds and baking spice. The palate has rich molasses, cinnamon and black pepper, and the long, warming finish brings spiced honey and dry oak.
