WhistlePig’s range of ultra-premium and luxury whiskeys will be exclusive with Southern Glazer’s in 40 markets nationwide.

WhistlePig Whiskey challenges American whiskey with world’s firsts, crafted by a new generation of whiskey makers.

“We’ve built a brand that fans love and demand with the help of bartenders, early adopters, a young, fearless distillery team, and an appetite for risk,” said Jeff Kozak, CEO of WhistlePig. “We’ve experienced tremendous growth by delivering innovation beyond what the industry has seen while maintaining our independent, rural Vermont ethos.
