I said it was decent, but sorry these days it doesn't really qualify as premium when there are 30+ better bourbons out there.
Whistle Pig is a perfume bottle using sourced mass produced liquid from Lawrence Indiana. Much like many of these so called "high end" bourbons popping up. They make a glass bottle and create a brand, and don't distill or produce anything.
Whistle Pig 10 year rye comes from Vermont, not Indiana. And it is made by the original Makers Mark master distiller, Dave Pickerell. But the most important characteristic is its smooth taste.
