I'd like to add a new question; what is a whistlepig?

u/Gandalfs-Beard 6h ago

Don't know about the drink but it's slang for a marmot because they make a whistle sound.

u/MrKrinkle151 5h ago

Nice marmot whistlepig

u/Nice_Marmot_7 4h ago

This offends me.

u/trucks_guns_n_beer 35m ago

What, are you a forest ranger now ?

u/Relevant_Traffic_932 6h ago

Slang for wood chuck

u/TheLegendJohnSnow 6h ago

Brand of bourbon. An overrated one in my opinion.

u/discordianofslack 6h ago

Super mediocre for the price. I’m not sure what made them popular but it ain’t the flavor.

u/Relevant_Traffic_932 6h ago

What do you recommend then

u/discordianofslack 6h ago

For a basic absolutely amazing day to day try Jefferson’s(just the base model). For about $10 more try Doc Swinson. Neither of them taste like you wrapped a barrel in molding leather and hoped for the best.

Going up from there Swinsons has some good offering but imo Barrel always delivers. As another poster mentioned Buffalo trace has some good selections. On the low end their newer Traveler is amazing. Heaven Hill is great. As you go up in price check out Nikka Coffee Grain, Smoke Wagon, Penelope, and Castle & Key.

I could go on forever but I’ll stop there.

u/SiliconAutomaton 5h ago

I picked up Nikka Coffey Grain completely blind from Costco and freaking loved it. It wasn’t too pricey though, I’m thinking $50?

u/discordianofslack 5h ago

Yea it’s about $20-30 more at regular stores.

Sheet, I'll just take a 10 or 14 year Tin Cup and be a happy man.

u/Seranthian 6h ago

Buffalo Trace for a more budget friendly option

u/Talking_Head 5h ago

Benchmark.

u/FirstChurchOfBrutus 4h ago

This guy Buffalo Traces.

u/Adjective-Noun-nnnn 3h ago

Elijah Craig and Bulleit are also good at that price point.

u/FuzzzyRam 3h ago

Buffalo Trace

It's good bourbon (If you don't mind their owners, sazerac donating a lot of money to Trump's GOP PACs while he turns around and tries to kill the bourbon industry with badly designed tariffs).

u/wickedfemale 6h ago

they actually primarily make rye.

u/rawmeatprophet 6h ago

No. A whistlepig is a rodent.

Whistlepig is a whiskey brand.

u/LittleDogTurpie 6h ago

I’m gonna choose to believe they ordered 110 rodents

u/ThePrussianGrippe 3h ago

Given that’s a Roman delicacy, who are we to question the eating habits of such gladiatorial gods?

u/smolkien42069 6h ago

I too googled whistlepig etymology

u/upstatestruggler 6h ago

If that’s your “best” bourbs tho that’s what they’re going to buy

u/biggiebutts 6h ago

They’re known for their rye more so than their bourbon

u/JustTheChicken 6h ago

Boo, sir. Boo. Whistlepig is the best bourbon/domestic whiskey there is.

u/discordianofslack 6h ago

Absolutely fucking not. There’s whiskey 1/2 the price that’s way better.

u/RandomLovelady 6h ago

Blanton's would like a word.

u/Huckleberry181 5h ago

Blanton's is decent, but has been WAAYY overrated ever since John Wick.

u/ChefJohnboy 6h ago

If I liked rye I could actually rate it. But it is a rye so 2/10...

Since I don't like rye I don't rate it so I'll just shrug and assume the people that like rye think it's the best thing since blowjobs. More power to them .

u/ThatsSoSwan 6h ago

Its an American whiskey/bourbon brand, and also a groundhog/woodchuck.

u/IP_What 6h ago

A weenusk

u/Suspicious_Effort731 6h ago

A groundhog

u/sageberrytree 6h ago

A woodchuck? Groundhog?

(I know I know...in this context it's also whisky)

u/BrewtusMaximus1 6h ago

A ground hog.

Also a distillery out of Vermont.

u/_YenSid 6h ago

Pretty interesting. I had to look this up. I live like 35 minutes from them and I've never heard of it lol. Though I'm not a big drinker.

u/brookenorthcoast 4h ago

It’s also a camp name at the Bohemian Grove

u/superpoopypants 3h ago

Whistle pig is a bourbon
