WhistlePig The Boss Hog IX Siren's Song 700ml
Cask Strength Rye Whiskey - 51.2-53.1% ABV | WhistlePig Farm, Vermont

Myth Meets Mastery - A Rye Epic in Two Acts

With each edition of The Boss Hog, WhistlePig pushes the boundaries of American rye through bold innovation and storytelling. Edition IX, Siren's Song, is one of the most evocative yet. It is a powerful 100 percent rye whiskey, bottled at cask strength (51.2-53.1% ABV), and refined in two extraordinary Greek casks: first in casks seasoned with tentura, a traditional Greek liqueur infused with cinnamon, clove and citrus, then finished in a fig-nectar (Aino) liqueur cask. The result is nothing short of operatic.

Distilled and aged entirely on WhistlePig Farm in Vermont, every element - from grain to glass - is curated to provoke, seduce and surprise. The name references the mythic sirens whose irresistible voices lured sailors off course. One sip and the metaphor becomes clear.

The nose is striking and distinctive: stewed figs, mulled wine, dark cherry, candied ginger, and clove-studded orange. The influence of the spice liqueur offers warmth and depth, while a bright floral lift keeps it grounded in rye tradition.

On the palate, the whiskey unfolds in layers. Robust rye spice meets fig jam, cinnamon bark, orange oil, and a hint of tobacco. The tentura finish weaves in herbal and sweet echoes without obscuring the core rye character. Each sip reads like a chapter in a story.

The finish is long, spiced and richly indulgent: dark fruit, oak resin, a whisper of anise, and a lingering thread of citrus peel. Bottled at cask strength, it commands attention, yet the sweetness ensures harmony and balance.

Innovative Tradition
Siren's Song is not just another high-proof special edition - it is a celebration of innovation rooted in reverence for both ancient Greek flavours and American rye’s foundational spirit. Each Boss Hog bottle is hand-selected, single-barrel and unique, ensuring that no two expressions are identical.

Final Thought
For collectors and aficionados, Siren’s Song is a standout chapter in the Boss Hog saga. For those seeking exploration over simple sipping, it offers an odyssey in a glass - an unconventional but compelling testament to how far rye can stretch when driven by imagination and craft. This is not a bottle to open casually - it is one to journey with.
