The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu's Pacific Straight Rye Whiskey is the eighth release in WhistlePig's prestigious "Boss Hog" series, which is known for pushing the boundaries of whiskey craftsmanship. Released in 2020, this limited-edition rye whiskey is named after LapuLapu, a legendary Filipino warrior, and the spirit draws inspiration from the Pacific Islands' rich cultural heritage.


The whiskey is a blend of WhistlePig's 100% rye aged for 12 years and finished in a combination of Mizunara oak barrels (a rare Japanese oak) and barrels that previously held rum from the Pacific Islands. This unique aging process gives it a distinctive flavor profile with rich tropical fruit notes, hints of spice, and a touch of vanilla and coconut, all intertwined with the signature complexity of rye.

One of our darkest-hued Armagnacs, BHAKTA 1962 shows roasted meat, caramel, and cigar box on the nose, followed by a vibrant palate of orange peel, banana, honey, and dark chocolate. In 1962, Bob Dylan released his first album, Taco Bell was founded, and John Glenn made history as the first American to orbit the Earth; the Cuban Missile Crisis made time stand still, but infamy was averted.
