Tasting Notes

WhistlePig Boss Hog VIII - Lapulapu's Pacific is a remarkable single-barrel rye whiskey that pays homage to the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu. This exceptional whiskey starts its journey in American oak casks, where it matures and develops its robust flavors. But it's the second maturation that truly sets it apart. The whiskey is transferred to casks that once held single island small batch rum from the Philippines, infusing it with a unique and exotic character. The influence of the Philippine rum casks adds depth and complexity, with hints of tropical fruits, spices, and a subtle sweetness that complements the bold rye character. This limited-edition release is a true celebration of history, craftsmanship, and the art of blending cultures through the magic of whiskey.
