Immerse yourself in the epic journey of WhistlePig The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu’s Pacific Straight Rye Whiskey, a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Filipino hero LapuLapu. This limited edition release from WhistlePig, known for its adventurous and bold whiskey expressions, continues the saga with a spirit as rich and complex as the history it celebrates​.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this straight rye whiskey has matured for nearly 18 years in new American oak barrels, acquiring depth and character. It then undergoes a double finish in high-toast barrels that previously cradled small-batch, single-island, aged Philippine rum for 7 to 10 years, enriching the whiskey with vanilla, caramel, and oak notes alongside layers of complexity and a touch of toffee and spice​.

On the nose, The Boss Hog VIII presents lush vanilla aromas that transition into delicate tropical notes of underripe bananas, freshly picked lemon, and molasses. The palate offers a creamy mouthfeel reminiscent of milk chocolate, enriched with plummy sweetness and unfolding to a long, black tea finish. An abundance of fresh ground cinnamon with citrus zest, butterscotch, and light notes of toffee dances on the tongue, leading to a finish that resonates with tanned leather, light brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice, and a lingering black pepper rye spice​.

Bottled between 104.8 and 106.5 proof (52.4-53.3% ABV), each bottle of The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu’s Pacific is a collectible masterpiece, crowned with a hand-made pewter pig emblematic of LapuLapu's legacy. This whiskey not only honors a historical odyssey but also offers whiskey aficionados an unparalleled tasting experience, embodying the essence of exploration and the richness of a legendary battle that shaped history​.

For collectors and connoisseurs seeking to embark on a taste journey that spans centuries and continents, WhistlePig The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu’s Pacific Straight Rye Whiskey stands as a beacon of craftsmanship, heritage, and audacious spirit.
