The Founding Father Of Craft Distilling

Raj founded WhistlePig Rye Whiskey in 2010, nearly in tandem with Dave Pickerell's rise in the craft distilling world. The Founder of WhistlePig cast his lot in with the Founding Father of Craft Distilling to create unique blends that propelled the WhistlePig brand to the upper echelon of whiskey. We crafted this barrel in honor of Dave Pickerell, a pioneer, a mentor, and a visionary, but above all, a friend.
