Whistle Pig 10yr Recipe

Chill the Glass

If desired, chill the rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while preparing other elements; discard the ice water before serving.

Place the large ice cube into the rocks glass. Using a jigger, measure 2 oz of WhistlePig 10 Year Rye and pour it over the ice cube.

Give the whiskey one gentle stir in the glass (about 6–8 slow rotations) with a bar spoon to slightly chill and integrate without over-diluting. Alternatively, serve without stirring if you prefer the whiskey neat with a single large ice cube.

Prepare Orange Twist

If using an orange peel, cut a 1.5–2 inch strip of zest (avoid too much pith). Hold the peel over the glass and give it a firm twist to express the oils over the surface of the whiskey, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink or discard, per preference.

If using a Luxardo or brandied cherry, place it on a cocktail pick and lay it across the rim or drop it into the glass as a sweet accent.
