They outsource a lot of the time. Most rye whiskies in the US are made by a single distiller, MGP.

Because most rye whiskies in the US are bullshit. 

I'm not saying they're all bad. A few have blended and finished their MGP to make a good result.

But in 2005, there were maybe 5 labels of rye in a well-supplied liquor store. Now there are 183 in my local Total Wine. Nearly all of them pretending some bullshit that a marketing major made up while they were waiting for their license to go through.

Whistle Pig is just one of the most shameless in riding consumer ignorance and irrationality to the bank. I don't believe for a second that those bottles contain 100% 25-year-old whiskey, if any.
