Has anyone else tried this? It was recommended to me at my favorite spirits store, but is very expensive (over $100 a bottle). They did have a miniature of it for $10, so I bought it. Tried it last night and was blown away with it. I thought it was the best whiskey I have had, and yes, better than Pappy 15 year old. Looks like I will be spending the $100+ for a bottle.

Oh wow. I've never heard of this brand before. Could you post a pic of the label?
Thank you for sharing your discovery!!

It sounds good, but $100???
I wonder if a drinker would choose it as so superior in a blind test.

What was the age on this whiskey? I have seen it around the baton Rouge area for closer to $60. I have never tried it myself, though I here it is pretty good. I have stayed away from it personally because Whistle Pig sources there mash from a distillery in Indiana (as well as other whiskeys). They do age the mash at their own place in their barrels with their process. But their are too many other really good whiskeys that go through the entire process their selves. But hey...if it is good and you like it...who cares where it came from. Enjoy your rye!
To answer a few questions from the thread
What the bottle looks like: http://whistlepigwhiskey.com/12-year-old-world/
Old World is 12 years old.
I have not had this, but I have tried (and enjoyed!) the 10 year which seems to run $70-$80 a bottle around here.

JM, thanks for answering for me and providing the link. It is excellent whiskey, as is the 10 year old. Hate that it is so pricey.
What other rye whiskeys have you had that you really liked? I have been mostly a bourbon drinker in the past, but think I will be trying more ryes in the future.

Thank you for the link. It will be fun exploring their site!!
I am way more into Bourbon and Scotch than Rye, but I have also enjoyed Bulleit Rye, Michters US*1 Rye and Woodford Rye
Try Rittenhouse Rye. Excellent. Wild Turkey makes a fine rye as well and it is easier on the wallet.
Rittenhouse Rye is the bomb. 100 proof with a nice mix of spice.
