WhistlePig Boss Hog XIII: The Golden Pharoah

Every year, The Boss Hog reimagines what Rye can be. For its thirteenth chapter, inspiration comes from a land the distillery has never explored before: Egypt.

The Golden Pharaoh begins as a Straight Rye Whiskey, matured in new American Oak before finishing in barrels seasoned with Egyptian black honey and tiger nut, two ingredients that trace back to Ancient Egypt and remain staples of the region today. What emerges is opulent and bottled at full strength, opening with brown sugar and toasted almond before settling into deep molasses sweetness, baking spice, and a long, unhurried finish.

Crowned with a pewter topper modeled after its namesake, King Tut, and resting in a gift box fit for a tomb worth discovering, The Golden Pharaoh still answers to the same Five Promises every Boss Hog edition is measured against: Single Barrel, Bottled at Proof, Powerfully Complex, Distinctly Unique From Anything The Distillery Has Done Before, and Stupendous.
