WhistlePig was listed under the American Whiskey section.. and I will maintain that it's not an American product... as noted by Rob_flies_ua, it is sourced from Canada.. in fact they just received their permit to construct their distillery in the Summer of 2014.. they have become more forthright about the source of their whiskey... until last year they barely acknowledged it was of Canadian origin..

Some of it has been aged in Vermont.. it is definitely bottled in Vermont... but currently there's not a single drop of whiskey in the bottle that isn't Canadian... there's a lot of distilleries (rather bottlers) that will try to spin a good story; a history of the whiskey in the bottle when in fact (as far as rye goes) most of it comes from either Canada or a plant in Indiana... Templeton Rye was the most recent biggest offender of this...

So, I maintain that WhistlePig is a Canadian Rye... a very good Canadian rye, but a very expensive Canadian rye... Alberta Premium makes a number of expressions that are as good if not better and a whole heck of a lot cheaper....
