![The sixth version of WhistlePig’s Boss Hog bottling is here, and it’s the company’s most audacious — and likely polarizing — whiskey to date.
The Samurai Scientist, officially denoted not as The Boss Hog 6 but rather The Boss Hog [Japanese symbol for 6 which doesn’t show up correctly here], is wholly unlike anything else in the WhistlePig stable. The trick? The whiskey was distilled in Canada using koji fermentation techniques (which is used to make sake, among other products) and, after spending 16 years in oak, it is finished in barrels seasoned with umeshu, Japanese plum wine.
Umeshu seasoning is becoming a thing of late, most notably seen in the release of St. George’s Baller single malt. But what will it do with rye whiskey as the base? And in the first Boss Hog without Dave Pickerell running the show? Follow the link in our profile to find out!
