The Boss Hog VIII: Lapulapu's Pacific

Single Barrel, Bottled at Proof, Powerfully Complex, Distinctly Unique From Anything We’ve Done Before. Stupendous.

An epic sequel to the World’s Best Rye, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu’s Pacific completes WhistlePig’s journey around the world, unfurling a chronicle as rich and bold as the whiskey itself. WhistlePig distils and matures its rye whiskey at its farm distillery in Shoreham, Vermont.

Upon crossing the Pacific, Captain Magellan met his fate at the hands of the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu. A fierce and vociferous defender of independence, LapuLapu led his island home against the Spaniards. There he forged a successful fortification, staving off colonial occupation for more than forty years.

This rare edition sees a double finish in high toast, small batch, single island Philippine Rum casks, adding layers of warm spice and delicate tropical notes to an already deeply complex, well-aged rye whiskey, matured for close to two decades in new American oak. LapuLapu’s Pacific is a profound statement of strength and independence, a spectacular sequel to Magellan’s Atlantic.

This rare and outstandingly complex whiskey is barrel strength, bottled between 104.8 and 106.6 proof.
