WhistlePig Declaration Wheat Whiskey is a monumental release marking the USA 250th Anniversary (1776–2026). Having already mastered ultra-premium Rye and redefined the Bourbon category, WhistlePig now plants its flag in the next great American grain: Wheat. This limited-time offering is crafted as a High Wheat American Whiskey, designed to offer a softer, more approachable profile than rye while maintaining the complexity the brand is known for. To ensure a bold, structured character, the spirit is double aged in New American Oak, pulling deep color and rich wood sugars from the barrel to complement the delicate sweetness of the wheat.

Palate: Creamy and mellow with layers of butterscotch, poached pear, and a gentle toasted grain sweetness.
Finish: Clean and smooth with a lingering touch of sweet oak and a whisper of baking spice.
