Hi Jason,

As with all of our whiskeys we tried multiple iterations of time spent in the South American Teakwood barrel. What we found was that if the whiskey spent any more time in the teakwood than what we used for the final finish, then the flavor became overwhelming and unpalatable. The differences were so unique that we were testing the whiskey every few hours eventually being led to the what we would call the perfect teakwood finish.

We won’t stop experimenting though, the teakwood is one of our favorite finishes and this wont be the last WhistlePig Whiskey to enjoy it’s symphony of character.

Cheers!
