WhistlePig Launches New Single Barrel Rye With Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake Barrel – a meticulously crafted high Rye Whiskey personally curated by the Alfa Romeo F1 drivers. Each barrel underwent rigorous trials in its state-of-the-art wind tunnel, ensuring an exhilarating flavor experience in every sip.

This exceptional Single Barrel is bottled at a precise 96.77 proof, paying homage to the iconic racing number 77 of Valtteri Bottas and the exacting precision demanded by the world of motorsport. Drawing inspiration from Zhou Guanyu, the trailblazing first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is artfully finished with the delicate flavors of lychee and oolong tea. The oolong tea imparts herbal and floral notes that beautifully complement the herbaceous character of our renowned PiggyBack 100% Rye, culminating in a lusciously tropical fruit finish with a hint of spice.

Much like the renowned Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake’s signature C43 racing vehicles, these trial barrels endured rigorous testing in the team’s Swiss wind tunnel before venturing onto the track. Handpicked barrels were then subjected to varying degrees of G-Forces at the WhistlePig farm and distillery, further accelerating the interaction between the whiskey and the oak, mirroring the physical demands of Formula 1. Experience the artistry of racing and whiskey come together in every sip.
