This 5th. edition of The Boss Hog, The Spirit of Mauve, is a 13 Year Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Calvados Casks in honor of our celebrity pet pig, Mauve's undying love of apples. The result is extraordinary. A unique blend of sweet and spiced flavors with a fine balance between American power and French sophistication. There's nothing else like it. Nose of Mulled cider, cardamom, candied ginger and a touch of piper tobacco. Caramel, vanilla and gentle Rye spice develops with time in the glass. Palate Maple syrup and pears are balanced by dark chocolate and French oak spice. With water, the spice moves front and center and a vibrant, fruit-forward character develops. Lasting spice and a touch of charred oak and caramel, maple syrup lingers as the finish fades.
