About WhistlePig The Boss Hog VIII: Lapulapus Pacific Straight Rye Whiskey
The Boss Hog VIII Lapulapu’s Pacific is a straight rye whiskey and the latest product of WhistlePig’s quest for the finest rye whiskey.
Lapulapu was an indigenous ruler in the Philippines responsible for defeating Ferdinand Magellan, thus ending his voyage of circumnavigation in 1521. Legend has it that Lapulapu was turned to stone instead of dying and you can find a pewter effigy of the Filipino hero atop each bottle of The Boss Hog VIII.
The whiskey is aged in American oak, then finished in single-island Philippine rum casks for a unique, complex, and powerful expression that is bottled at barrel strength.
