Boss Hog represents a powerful and complex journey through the world of whiskey. This remarkable product, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu’s Pacific, is an extraordinary expression of craftsmanship, showcasing the distillation skills honed at WhistlePig's farm distillery located in Shoreham, Vermont. This single barrel rye whiskey is crafted with high standards, making it distinctly unique and unlike any other spirit available on the market.
Upon its maturation for nearly two decades in new American oak and double finished in special high toast, small batch Philippine Rum casks, it garners an intense profile that is steeped in rich flavors.

Each sip invites you to taste the essence of independence and strength, a tribute to the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu.
