WhistlePig Rye Whiskey is proud to announce a remarkable Double Gold for the Sauternes Old World Finish at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The competition is regarded as the largest and most impactful international spirits competition in the country, and follows on the heels of our Boss Hog Double Gold win in 2014.

The Sauternes Finish combines Rye’s bold attributes with a subtle sweetness and elegance imparted from the finest casks, yielding an ultra-premium straight rye, distinctly American, but hearkening to its stately Old World roots.

Out of a field of more than 1,500 entries, our Best-in-Show award for Best Rye is just more evidence that we’re still making the best rye whiskey in America.
