Frontier Expressions: A New American Whiskey Chapter

Three whiskies. Three distinct voices. One North American spirit.

WhistlePig 12 Year Old World Rye is where North American rye meets European elegance. This high rye mash billis finished in a blend of Madeira (63%), Sauternes (30%), and Port (7%) casks for a layered symphony of stone fruit, oak, dark chocolate, and butterscotch. Wine lovers and rye fans alike will find a smooth, complex sipper aged to perfection.

Castle & Key Restoration Rye is a comeback story in a bottle. Distilled in Kentucky at a historic site brought back to life, this 5-year-old straight rye is crafted from a unique 63% rye, 17% yellow corn, and 20% malted barley mash bill. It bursts with cinnamon roll, peanut brittle, and candied lemon, finishing with notes of pie crust, vanilla ice cream, and black pepper.

Whiskey JYPSI Explorer is a bold, artistic blend of two six-year-old bourbons, one sweet low rye from Kentucky and a spicy high rye from Indiana. With a mash bill of 66% corn, 30% rye, and 4% malted barley, it’s finished using French Oak from Tronçais and American Oak from the Appalachians to provide layers of spice, dark fruit and toasted oak. It’s a modern outlaw’s pour—unexpected, handcrafted, and unapologetically bold.

SMARTASS CORNER

1. Tennessee, Indiana, and Kentucky are three of the top U.S. whiskey-producing states—each with its own regional style and laws.

2. The term “straight whiskey” means the spirit has been aged at least two years and contains no added flavoring or coloring.

3. The original Old Taylor Distillery (now Castle & Key) was one of the first distilleries in America built to welcome visitors.

4. American whiskey laws don’t require age statements unless the spirit is under 4 years old—Castle & Key proudly lists 5.

5. WhistlePig’s whiskeys originate from the best aged stocks at partner distilleries in the US and Canada, as well as their distillery on a 500-acre former dairy farm in Shoreham, Vermont.

6. Madeira, Sauternes, and Port casks each bring a distinct note to WhistlePig’s Old World Rye—baking spice, honeyed fruit, and jammy depth, respectively.

7. Whiskey JYPSI’s Explorer is finished with wood from the Troncais Forest in France used for some of the finest Bordeaux wines ever made

8. American rye whiskey is one of the fastest-growing whiskey categories globally, driven by both heritage and innovation.
