"The Limited Edition PiggyBack Legends Series: Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake Barrel is a high Rye Whiskey selected by the Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake drivers, with barrels trialed in their wind tunnel to ensure a thrilling taste in every sip. This Single Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing. Inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is finished with lychee and oolong tea. Herbal and floral notes of the oolong tea complement the herbaceous notes of our signature PiggyBack 100% Rye, rounded out with a juicy tropical fruit finish and a touch of spice. Like Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake’s signature C43 racing vehicles, trial barrels were tested in the team’s wind tunnel in Switzerland before hitting the track. Select barrels then endured varying levels of G-Forces at the WhistlePig farm and distillery for the finishing touch, accelerating the interaction between the whiskey and the wood, staying true to the physical nature of Formula 1." —producer

"This truly small-batch bourbon starts with traditionally grown corn, rye and malted barley. All of our staple grains are cultivated exclusively for us on the Omlin Family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grains are mashed, distilled, and barreled in our Woodinville™ distillery, then trucked back over the Cascade Mountains to our private barrel houses, where Central Washington’s extreme temperature cycles promote the extraction of natural flavors from the oak. Prior to being coopered, the barrel wood is seasoned in open air, rain, wind, sun, and snow for eighteen months, softening the wood’s harsh tannins. The barrels are then slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enrich the wood’s desirable flavors. This meticulous process yields a truly hand-crafted spirit with aromas of crème brûlée and spice cabinet, as well as notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean on the palate with a sweet, lingering finish." —producer

"In Bushido, the unwritten Samurai code of conduct, Yu is the principle that represents Courage. A number of distinctive Samurai qualities must fuse together to form Yu: not just valor and fortitude, but also awareness and perceptiveness. This notion of discerning bravery gave rise to the bold and vibrant flavors of our Yu Whisky." —producer

"Paradigm Rye marries both their comprehensive access to whiskeys across state lines with spirit distilled in Red Hook blended with hand-selected rye whiskeys from Kentucky and Indiana to carry on the tradition of Widow Jane’s unusual Ryes that are both delicate yet a powerful base for classic cocktails. Its intriguing and approachable flavor profile goes beyond the spice notes for which rye is known, and incorporates the sweetness and mouthfeel emblematic of the diversity of rye." —producer

"Created in 2018 by Master Blender Sandy Hyslop, Chivas XV is a celebratory way to enjoy blended Scotch whisky. This blend is laid down to rest for a minimum of 15 long years – represented by the Roman numerals XV – so that rich flavours are ready for you to enjoy in an instant. Pairing this long maturation with a selective finish in cognac casks results in a truly luxurious and velvety finish. With notes of rich sultanas and touches of warm cinnamon, this is a blend worth toasting to." —producer

Double distilled, with wafts of honey, orange and vanilla, accompanied by hints of herbaceous notes and light oak." —producer
