FAQ:

1. Is this a barrel-proof or cask-strength whiskey?
Yes—bottled at 111 proof, this rye is released at cask strength, delivering the whiskey in its purest, most intense form.

2. How does this compare to WhistlePig’s 10-Year or 12-Year?
The 11-Year at 111 proof offers more intensity and heat than the standard 10-Year, while still showcasing the same rich rye character, with added depth from the higher proof.

3. Can I use this for cocktails, or is it best neat?
It’s excellent neat or with a splash of water, though its boldness also makes it an outstanding choice for spirit-forward cocktails like a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
